Failed smog, PCV valve portion, everything else passed. what should i check? i plan on changing the pcv valve behind the upper intake...anywhere else? and i have a breathable cap on my oil filler neck, would that be a contributor?

any shops in the 650 that can replace the pcv valve if i dont have the time?

thanks

They failed you cause of the breather cause its now venting the crankcase and is a modification of the PVC system, put the stock cap back on and you will pass since everything else passed
