PCV Valve

[97vulcan]

Where is the PCV valve located on the 2.5l? I was looking for it, but I haven't had much luck.

Thanks,
Adam

It's right under the throttlebody... a little towards the firewall side of it, and closer to the UIM. A hose runs from the PCV to a brass pipe that comes off the bottom of the UIM.

Some good info from Autozonelink http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1b/be/65/0900823d801bbe65/repairInfoPages.htm

The AutoZone picture shows some of the PCV hoses but it doesn't quite show the PCV valve. It is a little lower than the illustration shows. The upper connection is part of a "T". The lower part slides into a hose. Often the hose is stuck to the valve and you need to slip a very small and thin screwdriver between the hose and the valve and then slide it around the valve to get the valve to slide out of the hose.
