if you can...GET A HAYNES/CHILTON'S MANUAL PLEASE..it'll save you so many worries!!!!! I'd love to help you with the processes, but describing them can be somewhat difficult, get yourself a manual especially since its your first time!

i know you have told me to pick one up like 10,000 times (im still looking for one) no car shops around here have a 3rd gen. book WTF lol

-about the PCV: is EZ right? just unscrew the old one and po p the new one on... right?? can i use WD40?

you ask the store to order the manual for you....Carparts.com also has the Haynes manuals for ~$16!

yeah unclamp the old PCV hose off the PCV valve(located on the manifold), unscrew the old valve, screw in the new valve and reattach the hose and re-clamp...chances are your hose might be crakced(since you've never replaced it) so you might need a new hose too!

Public Library might have one too to tide you over until you get your own copy.

If you're gonna change your own spark plugs, two quick tips:
1) Get the spark plug driver and 6" extension for your rachet... Y'know... The one with the rubber lining.
2) DON'T FORCE IT... I can't imagine what a b*tch it would be to try and get a broken spark plug out...

And if you feel mischevious.. Keep the ceramic from the old plug <whistles innocently>
