Positive
Crankcase
Ventilation. . . It's a fairly cheap valve that allows just the right
amount of air to be siphoned from the crankcase. If it rusts / gums up /
sticks open, it can mess up your idle, wreck your mileage, fail your
Environmental tests, and suck the oil out of your engine.

Have you ever had a very hard time starting after the car sat overnight,
or the week-end? You should perform the 'Lamp Check' to be sure your
dash lights are working too. It's in the Owner's manual.
