Summary
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.
Remedy
