Answer:

Both are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

PCV valve opening is dependent on amount of manifold vacuum value. The opening cannot decrease due to part throttle operation. The PCV system is a tampered valve whose opening depend upon intake manifold vacuum. PCV valve is supported by a spring and is initially in a closed position.
