subyfreak Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have noticed some oil in the intake box by the throttle body and figure it could be caused by a plugged pcv valve. I have no idea where and how many valves there are on this engine. Any body have a picture of where they are? Thanks in advance. Oh and another thing not related. I need a TPS for a 01 Outback Beener edition if any one knows where I can score a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB99W Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ignoring the SeaFoam info, http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14294 describes the PCV valve location and has well-lit pictures as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the part number on the side of the sensor? I may have one taat will work, and if not I can get one for ~ $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAPA gave me the wrong PCV valve when I tried to change mine, and the wrong one was too small. No idea what it was for, it looked right, was just too small. The stocker is a stout metal unit, and cleaned up fine with carb cleaner. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Last time I went to the local Napa up here the guys behind the counter tried telling me that my car was only available with the 2.5 and my car had an engine swap done to get the H6 lol. That store has since closed. I will give my pcv a good cleaning before buying a new one. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Come to think of it, an H4 PCV valve will have the guts reversed from an H6. H4- threaded end to vacuum, H6- hose end to vacuum. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
