No not at all , there are a few other thing's that could be the culprit . Check battery cables an connections at the battery !On the control side there is a relay , ignition switch , park neutral switch or range switch . If you have a automatic transmission an clutch switch if you have a stick shift ! The thing to do if you knew how is do a voltage drop test on the starter system !

the pcv is located on the rear(firewall) of the drivers side valve cover.turn counterclockwise and pull to remove be careful there are 2 small tabs inside the pcv hole in the valve cover(can feel with small finger) this is to hold valve in place so it wont leak.if you have a oil leak at the pcv a quick fix is to put a small amount of silicone around the pcv o-ring and install.wait hours for silicone to set up.

change the fluid and filter in the transmission ASAP and that should take care of your problem. if you drive it too long like that you may not be able to save it.
