[02explorerdriver]

I bought a replacement, its the screin plug type with the v-shaped line around it from Napa. I searched all the threads on this forum aboutt he pcv valve location and i can't find it!

I did the plugs and wires today and was looking for the pcv valve the whole time with no luck.

anyone have a picture of its location??!

thanks.

I have a couple of links for this information in my list of useful threads. Do you have the 4.0L or the 5.0L? This link is from # 11: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199415

BrooklynBay, did I put up the wrong pics again?

 

[BrooklynBay]

It should be further back.

 

[Donner]

How's that?

 

[BrooklynBay]

I'm looking, but I don't see it. Very nice, clear pictures! Take a look at the link to where it is on the Ranger to get an idea where to take the picture.

Ford says that is it... circled. Please post a pic of your engine.

i may have not been clear in my reply

my engine is the same as the one in the pic posted by brooklynbay(the engine bay of the red X).
i removed that piece that is circled and there is no pcv valve under there.
just a opening.

 

[Donner]

The fine print under the picture says that the image might not be application specific.

 

[Donner]

Do you have a link or a pic of the part you bought 02ltd?

 

[02LTDXLT]

i have not bought any thing yet. i would though if i knew where to put it..
do you have a pic of your pcv valve and where it goes and how its seated in.

I too, had the same problem. The picture is correct with the red circle above. The pcv is located on the other end of that hose so, you just follow the hose to the other end. It is located behind the intake manifold. Your arm will have to squeeze between the back of the engine and the firewall to get to it. PCV is brown and ev143.Don't really remember It is better to take off the hose and just feel for it once, you find the location by following the hose on the other end. It is a screw type of PCV with some threads. You have to unscrew it counterclockwise just once or twice to take it off. Hope this makes sense. BTW, don't buy a aftermarket one. It is totally different. I bought a Purolator but, it looks nothing like the OEM one.
