Hello I have removed the intake manifold on my 2007 Ranger 2.3 and need help identifying this part. It is badly corroded and causing a vacuum leak. While I’m here I will be replacing the spark plugs, wires, mani gaskets, egr gasket, and injectors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes the large hose leads to the PCV underneath the manifold but on rockauto this part is something different than what they call the PCV. I’m confused

 

Welcome to the forum

Closest I can find is EV256

Google: 2007 ford ranger 2.3l ev256

Its not the right part but its close to what yours is, and it say its part of PCV system from what I can tell

 

Thanks for the welcome! Also yes this part looks very similar! I wonder if it would function the same way. I really would prefer an oem replacement but I’ve spent probably half and hour searching with no luck. Maybe a trip to the dealer for a part number is in my future. 😢
