What Does PCV Stand For?
PCV stands for Purge Control Valve
PCV, or Purge Control Valve, is an automotive component that regulates the flow of fuel vapor from the charcoal canister to the engine's intake system. By controlling this vapor flow, the PCV helps optimize engine performance, reduce emissions, and improve fuel efficiency. It is a critical part of the vehicle's evaporative emission control system, ensuring that unburned fuel vapors are effectively managed and utilized during combustion.
