Default Does anyone know where the pcv valve is located on the GS400?

Hi all,

I've noticed some smoke coming out the exhaust shortly after starting and during hard acceleration. Thinking the pcv may be sludged. Does anyone know where the pcv valve is located on the GS400?

Thanks,

Take off the engine cover. Right next to your oil cap, there should be an L-shaped plug that has a tube connected to the throttle body.

Thanks,
You need a professional fuel injection cleaning. That will clear up the pcv valve. Check the Neloc section and look at the Amsoil Time thread. You can get it done this weekend if you wish for 60 bucks. If you don't want to use the place I go to, then get that service done some where else asap.
