OK, I have changed the IAC the PVC, cleaned out the throttle body. The battery is losing cranking power(had to get a jump). The car still idles at a very low rpm. It goes up and down very lightly.

Check engine light came on. I had it diagnosed, PCV valve needs replacement. I believe I found it on the engine, but how do I replace it?

Okay, so we have two - 3.0 liter versions

My first diagram is the "2 V".

My second diagram is the "4 V".

Third goes with the second.

I looked this up, I am only vaguely familiar with the 2V (I am more of a Jeep guy)

There is a larger vacuum hose connected to them.

Both PCV's twist to unlock and remove.

Here are three diagrams.

Let us know if this helped.

Thanks, I did find it and replaced it fairly easily. Of the 3 diagrams you sent, only diagram #1 was correct for my vehicle. It looks like some models have 2 screws you must remove first. Not mine, just disconnect the hose & wiring harness, grab, turn counter clockwise about 1/4 turn and it pops right out. Re-installation is even easier because the hose snaps back on much easier than it was to remove. Thanks for your time.

2001 ford taurus duratec motor. The crankcase/pcv housing was leaking at the seam. Removed assy. But destroyed the splash shield removing it. Is there an easy way to get it back together short of removing splash shield. Does the splash shield necessary.

I could only find diagrams of the upper tube location the intake manifold. If the splash shield is impeading the removal of the lower PCV box, I am assuming you are removing and replacing that, the neck for the box is at least 1.5" long and needs clearance to be removed. The splash shield is there for a reason and you may have issues with electronics or ignition components getting wet if it is not installled. That is a judgement call.

Hi:
I don't have a diagram, but the pcv valve is on the driver's side of the car, in the top-middle of the engine under a wiring harness and close to the fuel rail.

Hey guys, I have a broken clip on my PCV vent hose. It does not insert into the valve at all. I really need to replace this.

Do you know any Amazon links or alternatives? Where can I buy this?
Also what affects can it have on the car to drive it like this?

It's for a 2005 Ford Taurus SE OHV - Crankcase Vent Hose or PCV vent hose, I think.

Thank you!
