For those of you with a 95 Sunfire and you have trouble finding your PCV valve, or getting it out, I'm gonna let you know where it is.
If you open your hood and look at the engine, near the top on the left you'll see a hose coming from the valve cover to the intake. take the hose off on the engine side.
Now you will see the nipple of the PCV Valve, to get it out you need to take a 1" socket (actually the nearest smaller mm equivalent of 1") and put it on the plastic piece of crap holding it in. You can probably finger turn this out. Once you get the plastic piece off it's as easy as pull out the old, pop in the new, finger tighten the plastic back on with the socket.
If anyone needs pictures I'll post them up when my car gets back from Firestone, they managed to slice my brake lines while replacing my fuel line, and of course don't have the proper brake line to replace it in stock.
