The defect

Moisture and blow of mist present in the positive crankcase ventilation system may, under conditions of sub-zero temperatures, accumulate in the air regulator, causing prolonged engine idle, if owner fails to fully warm engine before driving. The pcv system can also cause a gumming in the throttle shaft which will impair the smooth open/close operation of the throttle.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install a new pcv valve system with increased flow capacity. The throttle chambers and air regulators will be inspected and corrected and a final system integrity check will be performed at no cost to owner.
