pcv valve
 

does it have one. if it does where is it

it has one. you take off the black plastic cover that runs down the middle off the intake. theres a little hole there where you'll see the pcv valve screwed in to the underside of the intake upside down. the best way to get it is with a crows foot. i believe theres a how to in the how to locker.

Amazing what someone can find it the "How-To Documents"! :eek: :D Here is the How-To on PCV Valve Replacement. Good luck. :)

thanks for the help. just found the how to locker after my last post.
once again thanks for the help

You can check my locker for addition pics on the use of duct tape and the crow's foot. Remember to set the rachet wrench as if you were tightening a bolt since the PCV threads "up" into the intake.

what happens when bad and does it set a ce light for a warning.

I don't think you'll get a code....just oily film all over the back of the top of the engine :eek:

If it's bad your crankcase will build up pressure and possibly push out or cause seals to leak. A telltale sign is your engine oil dipstick will keep pushing up after running.

There will be no CEL to indicate any issues with the PCV valve.

Until it burns enough oil to set O2 sensor codes. Which may take a while... ;)

and if you take the intake piping off the throttle body you'll probally notice a fair amount of oil in the intake tract.mine would actually drip from the throttle body!

I was able to get mine out with a flex-head gear wrench. It takes a little more effort, because you're exerting torque perpindicular to the nut, but it works. The metric set of 'em is about $20 more than a set of crow's-feet, but I'm constantly finding handy uses for the wrenches. Just used the 17mm to change the oil last night.
