The PCV valve is easily checked with the engine running at normal idle speed (warmed up). Gently pinch the hose shut, then release it; the valve should click. If there is no click, check for plugged hoses or ports. If these are open, the valve is faulty. With the engine OFF, remove the valve from the engine. Shake it, listening for the rattle of the plunger inside the valve. If no rattle is heard, the plunger is jammed (probably with oil sludge) and should be replaced. Never operate the engine without the PCV valve or with the hose blocked.
Don't blow directly into the valve in an effort to free the plunger; petroleum vapors and deposits within the valve are harmful.

Squealing / Squeaking Noises From Area of Rack-And-Pinion When Steering in Both
Directions
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of squealing or squeaking
noises when steering in both directions when the engine is warm, the cause may be due
to insufficient lubrication at the radial shaft sealing ring in the control head.
Note :The additive Lubrizol 6178 must only used up to a certain steering gear serial
number (see list). This restriction applies to models 203120912111220 without ABC. The
additive must no longer be used as of steering gear serial number stated below. If the
additive Lubrizol 6178 is poured into a steering gear after the steering gear serial
number stated below, damage to the steering gear is possible.
