I was wondering if changing the PCV valve really helps and also where is it located I have the ZX2 model with the DOHC engine. It idles very rough and it is very annoying almost acting like it should die but doesnt. What can I do to help this problem?? I dont feel like wasting my time at a mechanic.

It does help to change the valve (but don't change it everytiime you change the oil like some shops try to sell you) as for the location looking at engine on the right hand side of the exhaust manifold, there is a hose and at the end of the hose is the valve. Good luck and I hope this helped
