Get a cylinder leak down test performed 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be mark sloo on  Thu Jul 10 02:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Yes, I just had a major pcv system clog resolved, part of recall (service campaign) 69B. (see my many other posts on the brickboard) The oil separator/crankcase breather box was partially plugged and the vacuum line to the flame trap was completely clogged - possibly due to the failure of the crankcase vent hose.

I would just like to be on top of this and there are no sensors therefore no codes or check engine light (there are dozens of sensors resulting in codes for everything from EGR to the power seat!, but none for crankcase pressure), And, you can't physically check the system because you can't get at it without removing half the engine.

It takes 6 hours to do a thorough rehab of the pcv system on an 850. By contrast, it takes me about 10 minutes to do it on my 122's :-)
