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

Yes loose the breather man. Go back to stock cap and replace pcv valve takes no more then 5min really I did mine outside of autozone lol. Make sure you pop it all the way in when you reassembled.

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
