Hi,

To replace the PCV valve on this vehicle, you need to first remove the intake manifold. Normally, it's a five-minute job, but not on this vehicle.

If you look at the first three pics below, they explain the actual removal and replacement of the valve. Pic 4 shows the location of the valve with the intake removed.

The remaining pics are the procedures for removing and replacing the intake.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

It really isn't as difficult as it appears. However, I understand if you feel uncomfortable. Regardless, if possible, let me know how things turn out for you.

Also, if you change your mind, let me know what I can do to help.
