How the heck to change PCV
Ive been searching this site and the internet for a while now and just cant figure this out. I know the PCV is on the right valve cover but I cant figure out how to get it out. Also, there is a plug on the end of it that Ive never seen on any other car.
Any suggestions?

I have not seen the heated one at any FLAPS. Rock Auto has the Motorcraft valve (p/n 2C5Z6A666AA) for $25:
I find no mention of the PCM's monitoring the PCV valve heater so it is likely possible that you could run the unheated valve and just leave the electrical connection up-plugged.
That said however it has been my experience that the heated valves do not get anywhere near as gunked up as do the unheated units, so as was rodvandam experience I have not yet seen one that needed replacing, even at 180k miles!

Yea, Im returning the autozone valve and will let it go. The PCV valve is in good shape. I usually replace them when I tune up the car anyway, just for the sake of feeling more accomplished and the fact that they are usually cheap. lol.
Thats great information though. Thanks!
