What It Helps Address

• Excess crankcase pressure from a sticking PCV valve
• Oil vapor buildup in the intake system
• Vacuum irregularities tied to worn ventilation components
• Emission system service on Ford Escort, Ford Focus, and Mercury Cougar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, nipple orientation, and the push-on connection before installation. Match the replacement to the vehicle’s original PCV valve layout and confirm the listed fitment by year and model, especially on 1998 Ford Escort vehicles noted as from 4/6/98. Inspect the connected hose for cracks, soft spots, or blockage before installing the new valve.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition states that its emission components are manufactured with quality control maintained throughout the process, from component selection to the finished part. The V317 is engineered as a service replacement for original equipment failure points in the crankcase ventilation system.
