Default 99 GP PCV Valve Location? - 05-03-2007 , 08:07 PM






Hi:

I was doing the oil / oil filter / air filter / gas filter change on my
wife's 99 GP (57Kmiles) and the book in the store listed a PVC valve so I
got one of those too (used to have an 80 225 slant six Cordoba whose PVC
valve used to clog with carbon a lot when the car got up over 100 K miles).
Anyway, I can't find where the PVC valve goes, even with the decorative
plastic cover off the engine.
Anyone know where?

Wayne

It's even bitten some tech's in our shop!

On of them did an upper intake plenum replacement, then
spent hours trying to trace down the "squealing" noise coming
from the rear main seal (grin). Once the rest of us figured out
what he had done, it was a quick repair.
