PCV Valve?
I actually own a 99 Sport 4WD 4.0 with only 22K miles
And it´s making only 14MPG in highway
I have changed air filter, cleaned MAS and IAC sensors and recently a complete tune-up in local Ford dealer, tires at 31 PSI, but nothing ! still at 14MPG
At Idle or Riding is very smooth
Reading in this forum, i read one about PCV Valve. Is there any test over a PCV valve in order to see if it´s working fine or not?
Any other suggestions???

PCV Valve?
At $2.00 to $3.00, the easiest test for a PCV valve is to replace it, but at 22K miles, it should be OK. You can shake it to see if the valve inside is moving freely, and make sure it has no sludge inside.

PCV Valve?
Thank you guys!!
Seems like PCV is ok, but i´ll change it anyway!
What about sparks?? some people says double-plats will give better MPG but what is the best gap for each spark??
What else should i consider to get better MPG?
