Cleaned Flame Trap - Still Jiggling? 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom on  Sat Dec 2 15:49 CST 2000 [RELATED]

With a diagram and instructions from the FAQ, I set out this afternoon to inspect and clean the flame trap on my newly purchased 1992 240 station wagon. After about 20 miutes I finally deducted the location of the flame trap and the three hoses that fit to it. It took some wiggling and stretching, but I was able to get all the hoses off and the hard plastic spaghetti strainer part out of the trap. I cleaned everything out (the hoses weren't very clogged) and re-installed everything. Excitedly, I started the engine to do the jiggle test. I unscrewed the oil fill cap and much to my dismay, there was jiggling! I pushed down and pulled up on the cap and I did feel negative pressure pulling down slightly on the cap. Is everything ok or is some jiggling normal? Any suggestions on what else could be going wrong?

Also, where is the PCV valve located?
