Default PCV valve rattles at idle

About 2 years ago, I put a new fuel injector spider into my 1998 Blazer. Ever since then, the PCV valve will rattle at idle and at stop signs. The noise drives me crazy. I have tried to put a new PCV valve and it did no good. Other then the noise, the Blazer runs great and has not had a check engine light since. Any ideas on how to get rid of the noise? What could possibly cause this?

Check the PCV hoses to see if there are any leaks or cracks. Look at the grommets, if any, and check for cracks. I would also invest in a AC Delco PCV valve if you used a store brand. The other brands of PCV valves often try to make one size fit too many models and they don't work quite right.

As a tune up I replaced the cheap Chinease plastic PCV valve with a new obviously better quality metal one. Guess what?
