Has any one of you changed your pcv valve ?

If you have where is it ? (Details please)

I have found a tube large enough to hold a pcv but nothing was there . By the way this tube was coming out from the laft valve cover into the intake tube on it's way to the throttle body.


Any help guys i need it !

I "Think" I found mine. On the rear of the engine, just behind the black cover, passenger's side, there is a 'T' between 3 vacuum lines. I think the 'T' is actually the PCV valve. Weird place for one though!

Thanks for the reply this pcv valve is driving me a bit crazy.


Robert was helping me out in another forum but he has a 97 and has had Ford change it but he helped.

I'll check tomorrow the tripple connection..


thanks.
 






On my '97 the PCV valve is right at the very back of the engine. It has two tubes coming out of the top and is a little closer to the passenger side valve cover. In the pictures it is the round gray item with two black hoses attached to the top. You'll have to remove the black plastic SOHC engine cover to see it.
