PCV valve: Somebody posted a pic of where this is
I am looking for the PCV valve picture somebody posted showing the location in the engine bay. I believe the valve, or area, was circled.

this is what it looks like....I pulled it out last week and it was still working fine after 58k miles of torturing.

one more pic...oh and you can test it by blowing air thru it. it is like a vacuum check valve, the air can only go one direction.

After changing my PCV valve I noticed that my car feels more responsive than before. Feels like it shifts faster. Tomorrow will be a big day. I'm finally swapping out my springs and struts, putting a rear sway bar on and installing a UDP. I can't wait! Hope everything goes smoothly.

(should be able to blow air thru them in one direction but not the other).
However, for $5 or so, you might as well replace it every 24-36K miles.

of problems from oil leaks to blue smoke from the exhaust pipe
as oil makes it way around rings/valves.

or the ol KY JELLY does the trick as well

Oh yeah, and Happy 1,000th post to me!

Thanks

it doesn't have a part number. I'd post a picture of it, but apparently posting images isn't working (get all kinds of server error messages when I try). PM me with your e-mail address if you wish and I'll mail the picture to you.

Well mine is an unpainted gold color and it has a long hex shaped shaft in the middle. I MUST have the wrong piece or something. Even though it has the same part # as Sloppymax.
Dan I sent you a pm w/ my email.
UPDATE: Dan I got your email and there is definately a problem. The PCV I got, looks NOTHING like yours. I figured that something must be wrong since mine looks so much different from the stock piece.
I'll have to go return it. I don't understand how they gave me the wrong part, when I told them my exact car make/model/year.
And Sloppymax, I have the same part # as you, but I got a different part?? Weird.
Thanks Dan.

I have 2000 and is there any good way to pull this out?
I was able to pull the hose out but unable to get the pcv valve. It's deep down there and I cannot get a good grip. I was just worried of breaking it. Any good tool or way to get it out? Thanks.

That's exactly how I did it.

I only used my right arm to pull it out. guess I have a strong grip and wrist after all the back and forth excercise.
