I am trying to replace the PCV Valve and I cannot seem to find it...I know it is on the back on the lower intake manifold but their isn't much room to work and I am already confused on where it exactly is. Could someone please explain to me how I would go about finding this...Thanks

Here's the lower on your car....you can see out back the hole, or edge of it in this pic...
They are a little mother to get at...it the hoses are hard as rock its tougher to snake it out...while its out, replace the hoses to....cheap money to do it..

I used 3/8" line. Fuel/EVAP or bulk fuel injection line should work great. I dont know 100% if the stock line is 5/16 though.........

Ok thanks for the help...I am glad I found this board, lots of really helpful people here. Sorry for asking newbie questions but I am new to all this and trying to learn so I can get my stang running the way it should and be able to diagnose problems myself so I know my car as well as I should. I will be ordering 3:73 gears this week, so it should be a fun week.

Also gonna go to AutoZone and have them run my codes to see what else I can fix...

No problem...We aim to please...

Dont be surprised if AZ can't pull your codes...Some only do OBD2 on 96 up stuff...They MAY carry the reader you need....it Ford specific...20-25 bucks if you have to buy it...

I just have one of the cheep beeping ones from autozone. it tells me everything ive wanted to know.

It would be nice to have the numbers visible though, instead of counting. People like me don't know how to count........

Can you shutoff CEL, or erase codes with the beep or light indicator ones?

I have the Actron that does the light/beep thing...It works..I would agree that seeing the numbers would be mucho easier....past post say the digi ones can be had on Ebay for the like money....

I just dropped 179.00 for an OBD2 reader...have alot of that stuff around...it blows as the adapter for our cars won't fit this model... :damnit: You have to go to the 300.00 range readers to cover all the models and that adapters needed..I got 2 Nissans, a Yoda P/U and a Neon to take care of also...

Midway auto supply has the digital read-out ones. They are like 35 bucks and the extension cable (optional) is like 15 bucks more maybe. C-man and Jrichker have posted links to this item (as have others, but I cant remember who).

Good luck.

No and No, I think??....Once the codes are pulled disconnect the battery and 10-15 mins or some hit the brake light or the like to pull residual power...that clear's the codes....

maintaining those lines are CRITICAL as they can develop carbon deposits and create crank case pressure resulting in blown gasket, seals and eventually causing blowby. is worth everybit of $4
