Can a clogged pcv and fuel filter cause a car to die out?
The pcv won't do that - all it does is return crankcase vapors to the intake. Lots of cars don't even have them anymore, they run a sized line with restrictor.





I've have dirty battery terminals, a loose battery connection, a hot short in the distributor pickup wiring, and an empty tank cause this. If it keeps doing it under the same circumstances, you'll be able to pinpoint it. A clogged filter or fuel sock would more than likely have stayed that way - and you have to wonder what would clog it that can survive gasoline.
Reply:A clogged fuel filter will do it or there is a screen on the fuel pump that might have got a little clogged up but the first thing I would start with is the fuel filter it needs to be changed every 50,000 miles
Reply:Well first off what is the year of the vehicle? There is alot of thing that can survive gas and clog the filter dust is one of them. I work in a fuel testing lab and this usually is the prob. 99% of the time.
Reply:Depending on when fuel filter was last changed this may be the problem also PVC calve if plugged should be changed as both can cause engine failure. Both should be changed at 50,000 miles or so. Good idea to change air filter every 10,000 miles or less.
