There actually isn't a valve, like so many other cars use. There is hose and tubes to the throttle body. There's a tiny (precise) hole in the throttle body that allows the fixed amount of vacuum on the hoses.

Now, what about seafoam?? If you want to clean out the PCV system, just use some carb spray.

.... Or replace the hoses.

Don't run seafoam, trust me. ITs junk. If you're worried about the injectors being dirty, take them out and send them to R/C Engineering. $20 an injector and they come back blueprinted, flow tested, and balanced.

I have 2 cents about the foam. My father runs it in everything and ends up with engines that use oil. Connection, i dont know!!! But I have to think that Sea Foam cant be good for injectors, or guides and cant burn real clean. So I have to think that if you need to add anything other than oil, antifreeze, and gas its probibly time for a new engine.

Oh my father has also been known to wash his truck with windex. I think my point is made!!!!

I fell for this stuff too to clean the carbon from a friends gun parts. It did Absolutely NOTHING to the carbon so I could see it would do NOTHING for carbon on injectors. I agree it's just another brand of snake oil gunk just like all the gun cleaning stuff (disc brake cleaner in a gun cleaner can). I ended up using Easy Off Oven Cleaner with the parts heated as per the instructions and the Carbon melted right off. I wouldn't use it on injectors though, but at least I know how to melt off carbon from metal parts without using abrasives.
