The Mazda MPV PCV Valve is the built-in air recycling system of the minivan, which recycles the gases produced in the crankcase back to the engine, where they are cleanly burned as opposed to being released into the atmosphere. The valve purges the dangerous emissions and keeps the Mazda engine oil free of sludge by diverting and combusting partially burnt vapors into the intake stream, as well as potentially assisting the rings in sealing better, providing a slight increase in efficiency to the 3.0-liter or 3.5-liter powerplants. The internal spring of the PCV Valve functions in conjunction with intake manifold vacuum, and thus, when the throttle is at idle, the passage remains small, and when the throttle is applied the pintle moves farther and the opening expands to accommodate increased flow of blow-by. This basic vacuum-modulated movement also prevents intake backfires with the effect of a flame arrestor covering the crankcase. During the manufacturing cycle Mazda retained one simple design, thus drivers will not be forced to cope with different generations and perplexing models. Regular check-up is also prudent since an obstructed valve may allow pressure to accumulate, damage seals, or create rough idling in a Mazda. The PCV Valve is working and requires minimal additional maintenance when it rattles freely in a shake test and does not appear to have any clogging. Concisely, the valve allows the MPV to comply with the emissions requirements, maintain power at the same level, and have a longer engine life without requiring special care.
