They are both part of your emission system

very little, probably had a PCV valve.
That is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation ( PCV ) valve Depending on the model year and engine size there are different part numbers for the PCV valve
Yes, a faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can contribute to blue smoke emission from the exhaust. If the PCV valve is stuck open or malfunctioning, it can allow excessive amounts of oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning and producing blue smoke. Additionally, a malfunctioning PCV system can cause increased crankcase pressure, further exacerbating oil leaks and smoke issues. Regular maintenance of the PCV valve is essential to prevent such problems.
Your PCV valve is a simple plastic piece of plumbing that performs a not-so-vital function for your engine. The Federal government, however, thinks it's very important. In reality it's an important part of your car's emission control system. If your PCV valve becomes clogged, your emission controls can't function fully, and the results are poor idling, loss of gas mileage, slow acceleration, loss of power and other similar ailments. There isn't a consensus on how often the PCV valve should be replaced, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-60,000 miles seems to make sense
Emission parts contain a number of things such as; spark plugs/wire, O2 sensor, pcv valve, vapor canisters, MAP sensor idle control valve, etc

No.No.

I have read that a bad PCV Valve will contribute to gunking up your Throttle Body, which could lead to irregular acceleration issues. I am certain that there is more to a bad PCV Valve than that, as this is an Emission Control item, but hopefully someone who knows more will chime in. SUBMITTED: Friday, 03JUN11
