Hey guy I have a problem ok the car is a 99 ford contour SE 2.5 duratec motor ok now my problem stars out with that it makes a noise every so often on cold days only it sound like a tea kettle sound but in a loud way I been hearing the noise coming form the air filter housing so I check it I found out the duct that connect to the intake was loose so I tighten it up and it stop but when I start to reverse back to leave it started back up that kettle sound again when I start to turn my wheel all the way to the left or to the right and also when I reverse, it shuts off, now I ask a few people that I know and they tell me the a possible PCV Valve had collapse but I had check all rubber hoses no cuts or cracks I even sprayed some carb/throttle cleaner and nothing other one I have not tried is some soapy water in a spray bottle? But still can not find where is this PCV Valve so I don't know if these problem are a part of it?
So please let me know thanks and I don't know remember if the Mileage is at 132,000 or 150,000- 175,000

The PCV valve is located in the valve cover. As far as the noise, are you certain there are no vacuum leaks?

Yes I saw the one in the front of the car but some people are telling me that there is one more but on the other side of the valve cover so I had check everything out like I said before but if the car is parked and idle and u Excelerate the motor a few time now and now u here the noise it sound like a horn and it gets louder I even move the air filter housing and still no cut on the hoses or I even pull off the hose off the front valve cover to see if the was the problem but no the noise still kept popping up so are there 2 pcv valve?

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one PCV. There has to be a vacuum leak causing the noise.
