Thanks!

ya im gonna run some seafoam through the car. it's got about 130k on it now, and i think it needs a good cleaning. can someone point me to the PCV valve also ( i think it'll clean the throttle body also if i use the pcv valve?)

if you look at your intake the hose does a 90 degree, its behind the intake manifold... one end of the hose is connected to the IM where a little metal nipple stick out (which you wont see unless you take the hose off ) and the other end is connected to the pcv valve, which looks like a plastic hex bolt when the hose is still connected. im not sure how good of an explanation that is but you can always search for pics im sure there are a million already posted...

It's not a bolt for the 2000-2001. The PCV on the 5.0 gen gets pushed in and pops out, rather than screwed in.

thats not power steering fluid. thats brake fluid. power steering is on the pulley side of the motor.
