I hope this isn't a dummy like question but where did ford hide the pcv vavle on a 2001 escape v6 3.0 ?

It is on top of the engine under the throttle body on the drivers side. Tough to reach. You'll need a long needle nose pliers or wrench to reach it. Moving the air filter housing and snorkle out of the way helps with access. Unscrews about 3/4 of a turn to the left, then pull it out. I simply stuck a 7/8 (I think it was, not positive) open end wrench way in there and twisted the valve as if the wrench were a screw driver...if you can picture that.
