The correct location of the PCV for the 2000 Ford 4.0 SOHC v6 engine is the rear of the engine on the passenger side.You can pin point it by following 2 hoses, one on each side, that go from the air intake manifold to the same point..the PCV valve.The driver side hose is routed from the PCV around the back and comes up by the coil pack and toward the middle of the manifold (the connector faces rearward).The passenger side hose not as long and also connects to the plastic intake manifold.
The hoses converge on the PCV with a plastic T.The arms of the T are connected to the 2 hoses and the bottom of the T fits over the PCV.There are no fasteners for the hoses or T, but will be difficult to remove either the tubes or the PCV from the T. Pull straight up and be cautious of the PCV nipple because it cracks real easy, the T is made up of hard plastic but take care to grab both sides of the T when pulling up. Once you have freed the PC V of the hoses (T) you will need a light to see the fastener that holds not only the rubber tube that holds the PCV but traps the PCV valve also so you can't just separate it from the tube.The fastener that wraps and holds the tube and PCV valve is a ratcheting type connector. Towards the firewall side of the fastener, you will feel a loose piece of the fastener on the outer part of the connector.Pull this towards the passenger side (towards you) and with a small screwdriver or pick, unlock the teeth that are meshed together.You can either do this on the end where the loose plastic piece stops or on the other side of the clip.You are just separating the ratcheting strip from each other.Once you successfully removed this clip (congratulations), you can begin to try to remove the PCV from the tube.I tried twisting and rolling the plastic down the valve with no luck.What I did find that worked was forcing (massaging) the PCV valve out of the tube by pushing up from the bottom of the valve, while it was in the tube and pulling from the top at the same time.Now one thing to note, this part has been discontinued and the replacement is metal, about a dollar, but you will have to modify the replacement by grinding any steps in the valve nipple.The hard plastic T does not expand to fit a barbed end and that's what the replacements have.You might be able to replace the T with a more suitable rubber one but I haven't done that...yet.Now to see if the modified PCV valve will fit on the T.
Hopes this helps.Hit helpful if you would so I get notified.Thanks, Bill

I have a 98 4L SOHC . The valve seems to be behind the intake manifold. The emissions diagram shows 2 hoses going to it. Local dealership swears Part #EV225 is correct. You would not believe how much of the internet is devoted to this situation
SOURCE: 1998 Ford Explorer sport 4.0L 4x2 PCV Valve Location
the pcv is located on the rear(firewall) of the drivers side valve cover.turn counterclockwise and pull to remove be careful there are 2 small tabs inside the pcv hole in the valve cover(can feel with small finger) this is to hold valve in place so it wont leak.if you have a oil leak at the pcv a quick fix is to put a small amount of silicone around the pcv o-ring and install.wait hours for silicone to set up.

On the passenger side of the intake manifold, coming off the bottom
about the center of the engine front to back, you'll feel a hose that
comes off a nipple. That hose makes a 90 degree bend and goes around to
the rear of the motor. Where that hose meets the Y-connector from the
other side of the intake you'll find the PCV valve. It's almost
impossible to see it with the hood installed, and even tougher to reach
it.
A good source of information for Ford Explorers can be found here

show me a picture. everyone else says it's on the passenger side. nothing white on driver side of my 03 expedition.
SOURCE: pcv valve :where is it located on a 1999 ford explorer sport 2wd
It is located at the back of the engine near the fire wall. It is gray with a T connector at the top with two hoses coming off of the T and going forward into the intake manifold.
