PCV valve: Somebody posted a pic of where this is
#42
Sorry to jump in here, but I just looked under the hood today and could not find the loaction and none of the links to this pic worked. Can someone PM me with the pic of its location under the hood on the 2K Maxs?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Cleaning the valve with a good carb cleaner every 10K miles is a good preventive maintainence measure. Once the valve is cleaned plug it back in, and start the car, if you can feel a strong vacuum on the other end of the hose, it is good to go....

Also trying to find it on my 2000 max. The first pics obviously stopped working and the ones on the 2nd page here really aren't big enough to see good. Could someone post a giant picture of which hose it is, because I see two possible locations and both hoses are in pretty tight, I don't want to yank out the wrong one...
Haynes shows on earlier model only, and the service manual PDF doesn't seem to show it at all except as a tilted half-diagram (useless!). Thanks

No parts store will sell me a PCV valve for a 2002/2003 Maxima. Apparently it's a dealer-only part. Will a 2000/2001 valve work?

Why not just buy one from the dealer?

Sorry these are the best pics I could find for 02-03 PCV location ( catch can conversion) one end of this tube goes to the intake the other to the PCV at least you get the idea of the location. ( courtesy of The Law's thread)

2. Some of the 2000/2001 owners have mentioned that the Purolator valves seem to be better constructed than the OEM ones.
I probably will end up buying one from my local dealer, but I try to stay away from them as much as possible. I see no reason to support a bunch of lowlife crooks who know nothing about the cars they sell and who feel that a $500 oil change can fix anything.

I buy some parts from my dealer because they are quality parts and I get a discount.

Yes, like others have said, pulling on the hose is a 100x easier than trying to remove the clamp. There's no room in there to do anything, and even yanking on the hose wasn't easy. Try to remove the hose from the other end first, it'll be a lot easier to put the new one in if the hose is completely removed.
