We will be working in the area between the brake fluid resevoir (big round yellow cap) and the engine block (big silver thing in the middle)Here is a close up on that area. Notice the four hoses in the center with the silver clips The PCV valve is located inside the on the bottom rightHere is a picture with the hose removed. You can see the PCV slightly.Close up picture of the PCV. It is quite a tight squeeze to get a ratchet in here so I removed the two hoses above it to make a little more room.And last but not least - here is the PCV removed and the hole in which it threads into. Shake the valve and listen for a rattle. If it doesn't rattle - replace it!Hope this helps!
