Stand on the driver's side of the car. Put your hand between the valve cover and the upper intake towards the rear of the engine. You'll feel a hose about the diameter of your little finger. Follow it around behind the intake and you'll find the PCV valve at the end of the hose in the rear of the lower intake at the base of the upper.

Note: If you're changing it, I recommend that you replace the grommet and the screen as well. To get the screen out, remove the valve and the grommet, then reach into the hole with a "magnet on a stick" and the screen should come right out.

If you can't find it that way, just follow the large vacuum hose from the lower, rear driver's of the UPPER intake around back to the pcv valve. This hose is attached to it.

Sorry, Wythors, I just realized that's exactly what you said!

Be sure to note where each vacuum line goes tho.....I like to use colored zip ties, put one of the same color on the tube and one on the stem where it came off.

I had a hella time figuring that out earlier today, but then again, its been a year since i took them off, but i figured it out all fine.....
