I already found this:
PCV Valve Location - The Ranger Station Forums

But without pictures I have no idea what I am looking at.. could someone circle the location in these pics..

Truck is a 2002 2.3L





and is it bad this has a rip?


Thank you.

 

i'm gonna go ahead and say yeah its bad it has a rip.

Did your PCV valve go out?

 

If I could find it and shake it I could tell ya.. and the rip is evil.

 

i wont lie to ya, i don't even know what a PCV valve does

 

not sure where it is on the 2.3, but my 2.5 was on the drivers side

 

here's what autozone says it looks like





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

 

check on the back of the valve cover on drivers side

 

What is: if you're at 60,000miles the dealer replaces it for $Free.99!!!! now you don't have to worry for another 60k, haha

 

I dont wanna go to the dealerrrrrrrrr

pepboys people couldnt find it, lol.

 

you could call the dealer up, and ask where its located, and thats your first problem, asking pepboys where it is

 

pepboys knows all

 

i hate pep boys

 

i went to autozone for all my grade 8 hardware and the dude only had 7 bolts and no washers/nuts. so for the inconvience he let me have all 7 then i had to go over to pep boys and i asked if they carried the stuff and the girl working the counter (who was pretty cute) said uhhh i dunno go look on one of the back isles... pep boys employees are idiots imo

 

on my 96 2.3L it was on driver side front...let me go outside and try and geta pic for you

 

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.

 

I have the 2.3L Duratech.. started production in 2001.5 in Rangers..

 

did you ever find it?

 

nope..

 

I have a 2002 xlt 2.3l and I located my PCV valve on the driver's side. I had to remove the splash shield and wheel. It is located below the second and third intake runners,behind a coolant hose that sits in a plastic clamp. I'm still tryng to get the plastic cap off though.

 

Here is a how-to on it
