Can't get valve cover off to replace the PVC valve.

Relatively simple gig. Remove wires from plugs making sure to note which leads to which plug so that firing order is maintained on re-installation, remove vacuum hose from pvc valve, remove six valve cover retaining bolts and remove valve cover. Clean that up making sure there is no residue on gasket mating surface on wither the valve cover itself or the top side of the header. place new gasket in place and replace valve cover torquing bolts to appx. 72-108 inlb. Replace pvc vacuum line followed by plug wires and you\'re set. This is a stripped down version as there will be many hoses and lines in the way but you should just be able to wiggle past these. If you do end up taking anything else out just make sure you remember where and how it connect and you\'ll do fine. Nothing this high up is that terribly sensitive. Good Luck!

change your pvc(positive crankcase ventilation valve. torque specs. on valve cover are only 7 foot lbs. if you over tighten would not fix leaky oil issue

Drivers side valve cover, facing the firewall. There's a coolant line snapped into it. Remove the rubber elbow, removed the coolant line and untwist the PCV Valve.

Yes the PCV can be replaced. It seals into a rubber grommet in the valve cover. See pitcure of valve below.

I'm not sure why you can't just replace the pvc valve, autozone has it and the part number is PCV1125.

The PVC Valve is located on the valve cover of your engine.

The pvc valve will be located on the valve cover. Or better yet will be inserted into the valve cover. Follow the hoses coming from your air cleaner ( air filter) to the one that goes to your valve cover. Your pvc valve will be at the end of the hose. pvc valve can be tested by pulling it out of the valve cover while still attached to the hose. Start the engine. Place your finger over the pvc valve and pug it with your finger. If you feel vacume then it is working properly. If no vacume is present. Replace pvc valve

driver side valve cover in the back of the cover. if it even has one, sometimes the cover has been replaced with a later style that uses a baffle instead of a pcv

It should be going to your valve cover.


NOTE: On VIN K applications, the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is mounted to the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve cover


Please don't forget to rate!!!

The PVC valve is located in the valve cover (top "cover" of the engine, near the oil filler cap) On DOHCs, it is immediatly to the right. On SOHCs, it a few inches to the left.The PVC valve is held to the valve cover with a rubber grommet type seat.

1. Remove the hose that connectes the throttle body unit to the PVC valve.
2. Using your hands, remove the PVC valve from the rubber seat. Wiggle it back and forth, then pull it straight out.
3. You can either clean this with carb cleaner, or simply replace it with a new one (<$5 at most auto stores)
4. Put the PVC valve back into the rubber seat and replace the hose
