Is it hard to replace the fuel filter and the PCV vavle. I kinda know how to do it, but all cars are different. So, HELP ME!!!

Fuel filter isn't harder than any other car really. It's back near the right rear tire. Jack the car up a few inches and look up. There it is. Pull the fuse for the fuel pump, start car, let it die. Take off filter, install new one (check the box before you leave the store to make sure you have new clips). Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.

Never done the PCV valve. Try it out and let us know how hard it is.

I have posted a article in the how to section of this site on how to change the PCV value. It is not that bad but does take time and requires work from both the bottom and top of car. As long as you have jacks, you should be ok. If you have any quesions, let me know.
