Pvc removal

[jivepepper]

I have a 2002 engine in my 2000. On the old engine the pvc just poped out this one is either stuck or I have no idea how to remove it. I have pulled and pryed on it. If I pull on it any harder and I'm afraid it will break.

first off PVC is plastic piping. you are referring to PCV(positive Crankcase Ventilation). twist on it a little and it will come right out.

it unscrews with a pair of pliers . The old one just popped out .Of course I meant the PVC valve

sorry about the snide remark, i just finished a semester smog license class where the teacher said PVC valve the whole semester.

I had to use pliers as well - seems like you could turn it by hand, but it just doesn't budge. Be gentle with the pliers.

Easy once you know how. Thanks for the help
