Did my search, but couldnt find the answer.

Does anyone know where is to be exactly the location of the PCV valve. i need to change mine. my car is '00. thanks in advance

 

Probably on the rear valve cover. Passenger side maybe?

Just follow the tube that goes into your intake manifold.

 

i know '02 and '03 are on the passenger side. i m not sure '00 and '01. i dont even know where is the tube. im so dumb when it comes to engine. lolll

 

It's on the driver side. If you look at the engine bay, standing on the diriver side, it's just to the left of the throttle body. You will have to remove a few things that are in the way to have better access to it.

 

Gotcha. i get it. thanks alot.

 

the yellow circle it where the hose is that you can follow down to the lower PCV...the upper PCV is located where the top yellow X is on the picture!. U also have a breather valve that connects to your intake system from the driver side of the front valve cover.

hope i helped :-)

 

Thanks alot for the pic and yes you definitely have helped me. btw, how many PCV valves do i need? i thought our car only had 1 PCV valve.

 

Just the one valve.

 

does anyone have a diagram of this for a gen5.5 Maxima (2002/2003)? I was curious how mine look after 135K

 

It's screwed into the rear rocker cover on the 2002/2003.

 

hey thanks a lot.. now i know the where is the exact location of the pcv valve.. my brother need this illustration. i will forward this to him for better understanding.

 

PCV valve is located in the rear valve cover, just behind the throttle body.

 

Just replaced mine on my 01 SE however I could not get the pcv valve to seat flushed up against the block. Might be a dumb question here but is this necessary? It is in there tight as it sits now.

 

I'm betting you got one of the generic replacements from a parts store, right? If you looked at it before you replaced it, you would see that it has a stepped edge where it's supposed to fit. Sort of like this...



That little second step is what butts against the block, not the larger step. It looks and feels like the valve isn't fully seated and it does wobble. But, it's in as far as it can. It's not the best design.

 

Great stuff, thanks for the response!
