Where is PCV valve in 00'

I'm installin my intake soon and I want to change the PCV. Anyone have/suggest a diagram showing which hose it is and where? I'm not mechanically inclined so I worry about forcing out something. The pics in "how-to's" dont work anymore. Recommend a good throttle body cleaner?

I don't have a pic but I can tell you it's real close to the TB, look on the left side of it. It's right there under the MEVI. The hose is fairly large. Worst come to worst, I'll help you with it since I also live in NYC. I'am right there on Merrick Blvd!!!!!! Just let me know.....

Took me only 3 mins to do it......

Does it have a green or blue screw on it? I see 3 fat wires grouped together along there. Looking for about 1/2 hr i couldn't find it. But i was on the behind right side of the TB from the driver tire.

Its toward's the left side of the TB. There are no scews, but if you see 3 hoses, it got to be the biggest one. The pcv hose itself looks like it leading into the engine block.!!!!!!

Exactly, they may have been deleted when the hard drive was restored. So if anyone could PM me and Max20 with those pics, "yeah, that'll be great."

On the intake down stream from the throttle body will be 2 nipples comming out vertically. One conects to a larger dia hose the other to a smaller dia hose. The hoses then go to metal pipe and then change to rubber again. The larger dia curves under the intake next to the throttle body and connects to the PCV valve that is located on the valve cover. (The other hose goes to the Pressure regulator and fuel damper on the ends of the fuel rails.)

Or look on the Rear valve cover, the corner on the driverside facing the middle of the engine.
