Greetings,
I picked up a '95 Mystique GS with 61,000 miles a few days ago, and I'm giving the vehicle the usual going-over: oil/filter, plugs/wires, tranny fluid, fuel/air/breather filters. I got stumped when it came time to replace the PCV valve, so I did a search and came upon this thread.
Kremit mentioned the oil separator and that the PCV valve shouldn't be changed if the oil separator is still good. What is the function of the oil separator? and how would one tell if it went bad?
Where does the metal tube connecting the PCV valve hook into? I'm having trouble finding it in the underhood mess of hoses and tubes.
Not to sound like a geezer, but my '78 Ford V-8s are *WAY* easier to maintain than the Zetec! The PCV valve there hooks into the valve cover and flows into the carb spacer, both very easy to get to.
Any help is much appreciated!
