Re: pcv valve and Mitchell
The PCV valve is under the Upper intake manifold. Follow the metal tube (which is connected to the underside of the throttle body with a rubber elbow connector) down to the middle top of the engine under a wiring harness. The metal tube is connected to the PCV valve by way of a short rubber tube that you may or may not be able to see.
I've never changed mine because it looks like too much work. But I've read where some people take off the intake manifold to get to it; I think that's the sure way, but it will take more than .5 hours. I have also read where people take the air filter and some of the other air intake components off to make working room and then use a 7/8 inch deep socket with extensions to reach in and get it out ( I think you have to rotate it 180 degrees to get it out). This second method might take .5 hours, but I think you will need a little luck to make the method work.
I discovered all this when I changed the rubber elbow which was cracked and leaking and causing a couple codes.
