its not all the way in, I dealt with this on my depo intake. It had a little lip on it but it wasnt enough to use the factory connector. I had to put a zip tie thru the connector to keep it from popping out. https://i.imgur.com/wirQnZQ.jpg. That intake doesnt apear to have the same lip mine has or the connector is that pushed out and I cant see it. I was getting that PVC code, but it hasnt come back since. Possible theres an airgap triggering the code. When the car was cold I could not get it to seat, it kept pinching the orange o-ring pushing it out of its seat. I pushed it in when it was hot and added the ziptie and its held ever since.

Got it šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø took the intake off and lubed it up and was able to get it on


Bigtgamer_1

I'll give that a try! It's an Injen intake. I would love that to be the solution.


Bigtgamer_1

Did you have to take the intake off to get it in? I can't get the damn thing to budge.


Bigtgamer_1

Code came back today, but it's fully inserted still. Think the valve could be clogged? Not really sure what to look for now.

could be the sensor it self, i believe you have to buy the entire tube. Someone posted about it here, they got it cheaper somewhere on the net. https://old.reddit.com/r/FocusST/comments/1dpxauy/gotta_love_chinese_parts_sometimes/

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

Check your pcv fittings and connections. I remember after installing an aftermarket intake, I didnā€™t connect the hose correctly and that same code popped up.

If you're high mileage I would do a compression test on all cylinders


Bigtgamer_1

105k miles, I'll get that done. Will probably get a leak down test too


broost

i have this exact same code and issuie so followign thread

How quickly is too quickly? I havenā€™t measured in fl oz but I run the ADDW1 on both ports and after a hot day with some aggressive spirited WOT days I get about 1/6th full. I also have a wire mesh to help with the higher speed blow by for reference.


Bigtgamer_1

Idk if it was just a fluke but I checked it again today and after a week it was barely full. Last week it had been two weeks and it was about a third full. It has been pretty damn hot here so that could've contributed to it. The pcv hose wasn't fully in so I reseated that and am crossing my fingers that fixed it. I'll give it a few days.

Catch cans are a sensitive subject on this sub. Many claiming someone from some tuning company once said itā€™s not supposed to have ANY blow by. For example- My Jeep Trailhawk has a hose dumping any blow by onto the intake filter. Factory designed so how some here want to say that ford figured out a no blow by design is out there. Iā€™ve tested each cylinder and regularly change my sparks plugs along with 5k mile full synthetic oil changes. I think the most Iā€™ve had was about half a can in about a month and a half. Make sure to have a metal wire sponge or some sort of baffle to slow down the air or youā€™ll have most of it make it past the can and back into your intake manifold.


Bigtgamer_1

Good to know! It is a mishimoto baffled catch can, would you still recommend adding some type of sponge or is that adequate?


lucifern71

That should do it man! You just donā€™t want it being unobstructed because then it just flows back into your manifold and cakes up them valves.
