Does the '97-03 GTP require a PCV O-ring?

[Centauri]

As I've been tuning up my newly acquired '99 GTP and trying to chase down a formerly-sporadic 0171 code, I got to changing my PCV valve. After doing so the code has gone from sporadic to constant and I can't help but wonder if I was supposed to replace an o-ring and failed to do so?

And I'm noticing that one of the GTP guides on Paul's site does specifically reference replacing "the spring and any o-rings or rubber gaskets" but I don't recall seeing any when I removed the valve I replaced.

yes, there is an o ring, it goes around the shaft of the thicker part of the pcv

I didn't replace mine, but I forgot to swap one over so not having it there was causing issues.

Thanks.

Does anybody have a picture? Know where I can order one?

I would think a local store would be your best bet.

The MAF was testing well enough but replacing it got rid of my codes. :th_thumb-up:
