The valve found in a car engine that regulates the amount of positive crankcase ventilation. At low engine speeds it allows a small amount of harmful vapour to be drawn out of the crankcase into the intake manifold. At higher speeds it causes a larger amount of vapour to be drawn off. In this way it maintains adequate crankcase ventilation, without upsetting the fuel/air mixture.
