PCV replacement

goodguy · 11-18-2006, 06:03 PM

i just bought a pcv valve for a 2.0L 2000' ford escort and i have a maintenance manual for it. it says the pcv valve is mounted on the crankcase vent tube. where is that at?
it shows a picture of a 1.9L and it looks like it's near some spark plug wires, but i can't find it on my 2.0L

i would appreciate any help, thanks.

I don't thinks it's not much difference from a 1.9. On top of the valve cover, follow the tube down to the front of the engine. It between the engine and rad. Just right of the exhaust.

I can't find the pcv valve, there isn't a hose going from the valve cover to the front of the engine between the radiator and engine to the right of the exhaust. I took a picture of the area, the link is below; could someone point it out to me?

I replaced my pcv valve this evening trying to solve a problem with my 99 escort. The air source for this ventilation system comes from the air cleaner housing. I see a hose attached to the air cleaner housing, on your picture, at the very bottom right corner of the picture. I would follow that hose to the pcv valve. Mine had a spring clip clamping the hose to it. It took me longer to find mine that change it out.
