How to check pcv return valve?

How do you check the pcv return valve without removing the intake?

Can you pull the PCV out of the grommet? If so, just pull it out and have someone start the car. Put your finger over the end of it and see if you feel it sucking a vacuum. If not, remove the valve and shake it. If it rattles, that's good, if not, replace it. You might want to pull the hose and see if there's any carbon build up in it. Clean it out if possible, if not, replace it.

This PCV is not a removable valve; it is an integrated part of the intake. From what I understand, you should be able to remove the PVC line on the intake and check for the orange seal's nipple. I believe there are images in other threads regarding this issue. Hope this helps.

As you can tell, I'm not familiar with these cars. I'm just suggesting what I've done on my own cars over the past 50 years. Follow TboneMinisters advice.
