Davy Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It's not normal. The most likely cause is a blocked PCV valve which isn't serious. The PCV valve just needs to be cleaned and re-installed. However, I wouldn't expect the PCV valve to clog up on a car of this age unless there's sludge build up. So best take the rocker cover off and inspect that as well. Especially if you confirm the PCV is clogged. It could be that the PCV valve is stuck shut as well, which is uncommon but still a possibility. If things are more serious (i.e. the PCV valve is fine), then it could be worn out piston rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
