Hello, I'm Danny.

It's kind of buried on the left side of the engine. The PCV is mounted into the intake manifold under the #2 spark plug. I've attached a few pictures below to show you its description and location. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

First of all, Thank you, Danny L. Very helpful.I have another question. I hooked the obd1 scanner to my truck. The codes I got are troublesome.C-214-Cyl. ID CIRCUIT FAILURE, C218-LOSS OF IGN. DIAG. MONITOR SIGNAL/LEFT SIDE, C-222-LOSS OF IGN. DIAG. MONITOR/RIGHT SIDE, C-223-LOSS OF DUAL PLUG INHIBIT CONTROL. If I'm not mistaken(I'm hoping I am), all these codes are I.C.M. Related, are they not?Meaning I have to replace it?
Thank you all for your help, and God help me if I.C.M. Went kapoot.

Hey Danny, thanks for your help. You need to be a rocket scientist to perform those tests. Yep, it was the ICM. Get this I just replaced it along with other stuff, let the engine run for about 10 minutes. Shut it off, hooked the obd 1 and guess what? It's giving me the 218 code, again (loss of I.D.M. Signal/left side. What is causing this?Could it be the ign packs themselves, maybe the connectors?
Again, thanks for your valuable help.

Hello again,

Yes, I would check all the wire connections for being loose, corroded, burnt, melted etc.
Also, Have you went down the list on the diagnostic instructions I've attached prior?
Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hi Danny, I refueled this morning put in mid grade Chevron. After the engine reached normal temperature check engine light came on. Hooked obd and gave me a 172 code HEGO(H02S)sensor fault/lean. Was this the result of mid grade gas?Do I have to replace the oxygen sensor?Man, if it's not one thing, it's another. Thanks for your help, Danny.

Hello again.

The test procedure for this is showing oil dilution. It could be faulty/contaminated fuel, plugged, PCV valve, faulty HO2 sensor, etc. I've attached picture test steps below.I would check these things before just changing the HO2 sensor. Yes, when it rains it pours sometimes- I get the same luck. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
