Buick 12594779 Tube, Pcv

On all the models, the PCV valve or orifice must be installed on the PCV hose. On 2.8L, 3.2L, and 3.6L V6 engines the hoses are connected to the rear part of both valve covers, whereas on 3.0L V6 only to the right rear. Normally in 5.7 L V8 engines, the PCV hose is routed from the intake manifold to the right-rear valve cover gasket, while in 6.0 L V8 engines, the PCV hose is connected to the front centre portion of the valve cover. In 6.2L V8 engines, PCV hoses are fitted to the rear end of right valve cover, and forward end of right valve cover. To continue, the engine covers should be taken off; the PCV hose(s) should be taken off from the connections; and then the process is simply the reverse of that entails here.

Hoses for engine, accessory and emission systems are made of rubber and plastics that tend to wear out and harden when exposed to high heat under the hood and hence require regular check up for cracks, loose clamps, material hardening and leakage. Most hoses have clamps on them, which should be tightened to prevent leakage; if there are no clamps it should be ensured that the hose has not swollen at the fitting or has become rigid. To cut down the emission of hydrocarbons, the gases produced by crankcase blow-by are drawn through the PCV hoses and discharged at the intake manifold to mix with the fresh incoming air for combust. PCV hoses to be checked for cracks and then if blocked, should be cleaned with the help of solvent. These hoses, which usually come in colours, need certain thickness of the wall and certain temperature resistance; when replacing, make certain that the new hoses are made from the same material as the old ones. Hoses sometimes need to be disconnected for checking and identifying them helps in fixing them back in the correct manner. Some of the things that should be included in the inspection process of the T-fittings include whether the plastic has cracks or distortion which is likely to lead to leak. A small piece of vacuum hose can be used as a stethoscope to diagnose faulty vacuum hoses by putting this check probe up to your mouth and hearing, or rather listening to hissing. Fuel lines are usually connected under pressure and as such, if you need to remove the fuel lines be ready to mop the floor because fuel will drip. Look for signs of deterioration of flexible fuel lines particularly in regions of bends and fittings and when replacing it, only use hoses suitable for the particular fuel injection system. Some fuel lines have clips that allow the usage of easy to disconnect equipment on the fuel line. The metal lines used for the fuel lines under the body should be checked for bends, crimps or crack lines. If the fuel line is a metal type, it has to be replaced with the steel tubing, while copper and aluminum do not possess the necessary for resisting the vibrations of the engine. Moreover, check metal brake lines at the master cylinder and brake proportioning unit for crack, and loose fittings because if any spot of leakage is observed in brake fluid, then it means the brake system requires inspection.

On all models, the system includes a fresh air hose(s) and a dirty air hose, with either PCV valve or fixed orifice fitted in the dirty air hose. For V6 engine, EAC hosing is fixed to the rear of each valve cover, for V8 engine, clean air hose is fixed to the rear of left valve cover and front of right valve cover by joining with a fitting connected to air intake duct, other end of EAC hose connected to the front of intake manifold or supercharger and one fitting on the lifter valley cover, dirty air hose connected with other end of EAC hose Loose and disengage the components that have unfastened at the top of the car Remove the engine covers. In V6 engines the PCV hose is disconnected from the connection point and are reconnected in the same way as removal. Disconnect the clean air PCV hose connections from the valve covers and air intake duct and, if used, sliding the hose through the harness and charge air cooler lines if used, reconnect the hose by reversing the presented steps of removal. For the dirty air PCV hose, release the clip of the tube from the intake manifold and dismantling of the hose that are on the lifter valley cover; on the supercharged models, it is necessary to disconnect the supercharger bypass valve actuator for the hose access, and after then to connect it back in the reverse sequence.

Because of the high temperature level in the hood, rubber and plastic hoses that are utilized in engine, accessory, and emission systems wear out and crack, and should be checked frequently for cracks, loose clamps, material hardening, and leakage. Most hoses are held in place by clamps, and these should be checked for tightness to avoid leakage; where there are no clamps, check whether the hose has swelled or hardened at the fitting. The PCV system develops a path for crankcase blow-by gas by connecting a thin rubber hose from the crankcase to the intake manifold before the air-fuel mixture is actually ignited, so a PCV hose ought to be inspected for cracks or blockage. Vacuum hoses, if they are color-coded should be replaced with hoses of similar material and wall thickness and might as well remove and label the hoses for ease of reconnection. A partial list of what is visible through the inspection window on plastic T-fittings includes cracks and distortion of hoses associated with leakage, as well as vacuum hose tremors that cause vacuum leaks; to listen to the vacuum leak, insert a small piece of vacuum hose into the engine compartment and try not to move engine parts. Whereas working on the fuel system, one has to be very careful owing to the radioactivity of gasoline; should wear fuel-resistant gloves and safety glasses besides noting the availability of minimum Class B fire extinguisher. Looking for signs of wear especially at bends and fittings to flexible fuel lines and only use the fuel lines that is suitable for the fuel injection system when replacing them. Such connections as spring type clamps should be replaced with screw clamps and special tools may be required for couplings having spring lock type. Wireing should be checked for bends, crimps or cracks where it is used between the fuel pump and the fuel injection unit; seamless steel tubing for replacement as copper and aluminium are lack strength. Also, metal brake lines should be inspected for signs of cracks and looseness of the fittings though any sign of brake fluid leakage will call for further examination of the brake system.
