It says flex fuel on the filter? Maybe they use the same filter for both applications?
For everyone's info. I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 Liter 2x2 and most time if I need a part I would have to ask for the 2001 year. I was told by Ford people that the 2002 is actually a mid-year model (i.e. a 2001 and 1/2) !! That solved a lot of my search problems for parts including the 1/4 twist PVC valve and numerous other parts! Good Luck Dudes...Love the Forums... Frank R.Okay, Just for eveyone's knowledge, when i bought the part for my 2001 Sport, I got the one with the metal tube around it! Completly wrong for my application. I needed a EV-124 I think? So, there is diffenatly a split year difference with the 2001 Explorer sport.
Anyways, Glad you got it!
PCV Valve removed
Here is what I found during my PITA experience with this.
1. The PCV Valve is located on the rear of the driver side valve cover facing the firewall. It has the pcv hose connected and a coolant line snapped to the Valve. ( I had to unbolt the bracket that holds the coil pack and move it forward to make room)

2. Turn the PCV valve counter clockwise 1/4 turn to unlock it from the valve cover. (I had to use a pair of long channel locks to get a decent grip on the valve.)
Here is a photo of the pcv once removed from the truck.
Notice that the one removed from the truck is different from the one sold to me by the dealer as the correct part.
Proper part number is Motorcraft EV-243.
I have a 2001 Explorer Sport with the SOHC 4.0 6. Made in OCT/2000.
I hope this helps someone..
