I put a catch can in my 93 Voyager today. I figured why not. I went with a cheap eBay model. While installing it I noticed how poorly my PCV system was setup. It amounted to a PCV valve on a 5-6 inch hose running strait down into the intake.

I replaced the valve, a bunch of hose and changed how the valve was mounted (instead of laying on it's side pointing down it now stands straight up)

I then added the catch can and a clear fuel filter after the can so I can see if it's working.

I must have fixed a vacuum leak in the process because my idle smoothed out. Either that or I was sucking a ton of junk into the intake.
