Where is the PVC valve? I bought one about 8,000 miles ago so I could replace mine and have yet to locate it.

I was able to locate and change the fuel filter. The old one was almost completely clogged.

Thank you!

Boy don't I feel stupid. I had the large plastic cover off the motor and looked and looked and did not see the cover on top of the S/C that had PVC imprinted on it.

I'll be changing that tonight when I get home.

The PVC valve was not replaced...around how much does one run...looks easy to replace.. thanks...ill try that then maybe fuel filter..its gettin worse too really only does it when i really get ont he gas tho and its like its slippin or somethigns holdin it back again...

They cost about $3 at a parts store. Only takes a couple of minutes to change but watch out for the spring when you take the plate off.
