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.

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!

Hi,

Since it's the vent line and not PCV valve to intake vacuum, the engine will run okay without it, but I do recommend fixing it ASAP as it will allow unmetered air into the intake stream. The hose can be found at the link below.
