I want to clean my PCV valve before my smog test on my 2001 Mustang GT.

Where is it?

Both valve covers have a place for one. The passenger side has a hose going to the throttle body. The driver side has a hose going to the air intake.

It's on the passenger side. The PCV has a hose that runs to the plenum. Just replace it with a new one from Ford. They should be replaced at least once a year.

as stated above, 1/4 turn/twist and it should come-out...now that wire going to it meens that it is a "heated" PCV valve, part # 2C5Z-6A666-AA @$45.00 but it can be replaced wth a "non" heated version, part # 2X4Z-6A666-AA for @$15.00

What do you mean by breather vent? Like a mini air filter?

K&N has several different types of clamp-on breathers that would fit over the driverside vent tube.......

yea it turned out to be the heated one... once you kno which way to turn it out its no big deal... the guys at the parts department were clueless about the different pcv valve, but finally found it after 10 min and it was like 30 bucks...
