Chattering PCV Valve

I don't know if anyone has had this happen to them. When I accelerate it sound like the pcv valve chatters. What could possibly be causing this. It has been doing this for a while and is starting to drive me nuts. Replaced the pcv valve the other day. Still does it. Could something be plugged?

Thank you

Just a guess, could it be the engine pinging?? It sounds like carbon has built up in the chambers and pistons. Go get a can of Seafoam Deepcreep at your auto parts store. You may need to go to a mom & pop store, I don't know if AZ or Advance carries it. Follow the directions on the can for de-carbonizing. I've done it to a few Fords and it fixed it PDQ. Only drawback is that you'll have to do it over again when the carbon returns. Hope it helps.
