The 2005 Chevy Malibu PCV valve can be found on the side of the engine block. Have you ever wondered what a PCV valve does? In simple terms, the PCV valve helps control emissions by taking gases created in the crankcase and redirecting them back into the combustion chambers of the engine to be burned safely, protecting your vehicle and the environment. Gases can exit the crankcase through the PCV valve, but they can't get in. If you ever need to replace this valve, the average cost is around $70 to $80, with labor estimated at $40 to $60 and parts costing between $20 and $30.

Recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle, which is missing the PCV valve tubing. Unfortunately, I'm currently short on time to replace it, so I improvised by using a fuel line in its place. I'm concerned about whether the heat generated will cause the line to melt. What are your thoughts on this makeshift solution?
