Do you have the correct PCV valve installed? Also have you tried scanning for codes? I would use a more advance scanner for that rather then the quick small ones.

I have ordered the PCV valve. The only code that shows up is a knock sensor.

Okay, replace the valve and reset the light and let us know if that fixed the problem or if the code returns.
