here's what autozone says it looks like

Click the image to open in full size.



The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual evacuation of gases from inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase.

couldn't find anything that points to where it is though

On my 94 2.3 it is located under the intake manifold in a very hard to see location. It's a little inline type without the 90 degree bend. It's easier to feel than it is to see under all the other intake stuff.
