PCV Valve

Hi,

I wants to change the PCV Valve for my 98 Camry V6. Please let me know how to change it.

Thank You

I suggest you buy a Chiltons or Haynes manual and get the information on general maintenance from there.

It is easy to say go get a manual but a forum like this should be
helpful so here is the my experience in removing the pcv valve.
I have a 98 Camry V6 and all you do is go to the back of the engine (the
side facing passenger... just under the intake manifold there is the
pcv valve. It is also next to the rear spark plug. Once you located
it disconnect the clip on the tube with a plier. Next pull out the
pcv valve. If you like you should replace the rubber grommet also.
You need a needle nose to pull it out. Mine was hard probably
it was never changed and required a bit of a tug.

Exactly!

People needs real help from others' experience. If "go get a manual" is all you want to say, there is no need to post a reply. Not helpful at all. Remember this forum is to help people with your experience so we don't have to re-invent the wheel!

Amen. I thought that was what this forum was for in the first place.

My bad

Sometimes I just get burned out on answering questions.

My suggestion on buying a Chiltons or Haynes still holds. They are pretty good at listing and describing general maintenance requirements and procedures. My intent (although admitedly abrupt and not exactly thoughtful) was to teach him to fish instead of giving him fish to eat.

Again, my apologies...

Using a manual is the most basic skill. But not the fastest and most efficient one. I always use a manual as reference. But most of the time, I would ask here, there are many experienced people here would like to lend a hand to me.

Brian, you are not obligated to answer questions. I would suggest you focus on couple questions you know and answer in details. For those you don't know or not willing to answer, don't put post like the ones you did. It's meanless and gave people needing help hard time and make them feel frastrated.

ok, point noted.

I myself get frustrated by the lack of answers to many posting here. There are forums that remain, for the most part, totally unanswered.

The Camry forum is probably the best one for getting answers from and I forget that sometimes. I don't tend to spend as much time as I should on the answers - trying to cover all of the Toyota forums in my little spare time.

I can assure you that the more quality posters that frequent the forums, the less pressure I feel in providing some guidance. There are days that go by with no one providing any quality feedback.

Hello, I feel chandr should buy a haynes or chilton repair manual for his car to learn not only a simple task as changing a pcv filter, but also how to do other maintenence on his car. :2cents: :smile:

I own a 1989 camry and have the Haynes repair manual for 1983 - 1991 camrys and have read it cover to cover. :loser: it has helped me out many times and I have learned alot about my 89 camry. :smile:

Remember that old saying.....

give a man a fish and he eats for the day.
teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

#1. buy a repair manual. (their not that expensive)
#2. read it and learn about your car.
#3. if you still have problems :mad: working on your car then put in a post


please don't get me wrong. I understand some people know hardly anything about cars except how to drive them. if chandr buys a repair manual for his car and reads it, it will help him out in the long run. :2cents:

What's all this fish stuff? :lol:

Your doing a great job Brian, that's why I've spent a little more time here. I'd spend more if I had more shiny stars though! :naughty:

Hi Brian,

As per your suggestion I looked into the Haynes Manual. He described the PCV Valve change without any illustrations. For a newbie like me it's very hard to follow.


Could anybody please respond with easy to fix illusration or the repair method from the Toyota Original repair guide.

Thank You Very much

Did you click on my thread? He tells you what he bought and exactly how to change it.

CSAXON, the link I was refering CHANDR to was from your earlier post. I should have given you credit where credit was due. :banghead:

My apoligies to you sir.

No problem, I don't need credit for trying to help people. Sometimes we overlook the obvious. Thanks for contributing. :grinyes:
