Want to replace the PCV valve but can't find where it goes. Haynes manual shows a slightly different engine. Mine is a Touring Sedan, 3.8 litre, FWD. Does anyone have service info for this model?

The 3800 "C" code engine does a fine job of hiding the pcv valve... ;)

You'll find it in the front firewall side of the intake manifold. Be careful not to break the rubber elbow that it connects to.

Thanks Bill for the reply. I happened to be a little more observant yesterday and noticed a diagram on the housing above the rad. It shows the PCV valve on the left side of the manifold. It's well hidden under the injector wiring covers and plug wires. A little tricky to replace due to space limitations but I got it. I replaced the spark plugs and air filter as well. It's running a little smoother now. Seems to have a bit more pickup as well. Thanks again for the reply.
