but i check on the chilton and they tell me that the pcv valve is located on the air intake tube ??????, but i saw a big hole on my lower intake but i dont have any grommet,

let me know
 
You should have a large rubber grommet along with a metal filter...The metal/mesh filter goes in first, then the rubber plug, then your pcv valve sits in the rubber...
 
ok and we talk about the big round hole located behind the upper and on the lower intake, like a 1 inche round hole, i just want to be sure because if i dont have these part i will go on monday to buy them, but waht is located on the inlet tube it s also a pcv valve ??????

Yes it is the round hole on the LOWER intake, in the back of the engine.

On the inlet tube, there's 2 holes. One is a sensor and the other one is a hole in which there's a hose connecting to the valve cover.
 
the air flow in the PCV is bi-directional, hence the reason for the tube on the TB and oil filler (to allow bi-directional flow and do it in a way that uses metered air). excess pressure can pop the valve out.
i would recommend motorcraft parts for those items. other parts dont necessarily fit correctly. 20 bucks at the dealer for a valve, grommet and screen. if you should reuse your screen, pull it out and clean it very well.
my two cents.

good luck.
 
Heres the PCV valve hanging...it pops into the rubber grommet. Look around good..it may be hanging around back there...It a mother of an area to see..

ok i will go to the dealer tomorrow but now i have a check engine :shrug: :shrug: what is that, can a pcv valve can pop up a check engine and also can a pcv vavlve can be the reason of the oil leak from this area
 
when there is blow by, the PCV helps to contain it. with the valve out, oil can blow out of the intake. the metal screen helps to catch oil. some guys run a filter and a catch can in the system, to help with such problems.
this blow by is one reason your intake has oil in it when you remove it.
 
As far as getting a CE lite??? Not sure on that...suppose it could though???

Yes, she'll spew oil out the hole without the PCV valve in...That should be your leak for sure....assuming it just started at the track...

Did you loose the wire mesh filter that sits in the upper too???? If so, than lots of oil should be blowing outta that hole....
 
does this mesh filter goes in the upper on in the lower ??????, ive check the leak this morning i have only the pcv nothing else im going to take a pic of the hole that i talk, stay here this will take 2 min
 
It's in the lower. Dont waste your money at the dealer...DAP and Pep Boys has that stuff..

What you could do is go to the dealer to find out what you need, get the parts numbers, and when they tell you the OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH cost, you can take the numbers to the above and have them cross reference them for an OEM part.

many folks have had trouble with the aftermarket valves not fitting the grommet, hence the Motorcraft suggestion. we are talkin about 20 bucks for it all at a dealer. to each his own, i suppose.
