This

system
returns

both
the

The

positive
crankcase
ventilation

P

C
v
valve
is

provided
to

conduct

crankcase
blow

by
gas
to
the
intake

manifold

During
partial
throttle

operation
of

the

engine
the
intake
manifold
sucks

the
blow

by
gas
through
the
P

valve

Normally
the

capacity
of
the

valve

is

sufficient
to
handle

any

DESCRIPTION

The

is

adopted
on

and

injects

coming
from

into

the

This

to

prevent

At

this

period
the
