hi all,

ok i have searched but still need help is the trick to changing the heated pcv valve??

the only thing i have seen on youtube shows removing the throttle body and after reaching back there on the intake it makes sense to me. also i have oil in the IAC hose.

any help would be appreciated i really don't wont to take everything apart just to change a pcv valve. oh and the shot engineers don't they LOL

 

A heated PCV valve, are you sure you are looking at the correct part?

 

yes i am it is the with y on it

 

If it is like the one on my 03 Expy it is very easy. The y shaped tubing is clipped to the PCV by a small metal clip. Remove the clip, disconnect the old PCV, install the new PCV, replace the clip, insert the PCV into the valve cover.
The major obstacle is holding hoses and wiring out of the way to get to it. Check your owners manual for the correct PCV. Hope this helps.

 

thanks for the info capt ron. i want to change the entire unit so my problem is more gaining access to back of the intake manifold

 

Go to this site Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com. You can enter the data for your vehicle and select the appropriate items and eventually get a diagram of the parts you want to change. Should give you some idea of how to go about it

 

well i got it replaced took an hour to pull the throttle body clean up the old gaskets once its out of the way took 20 seconds to pull the pcv elbow of the back of the intake.

cleaned the iac since i had easy access all new gaskets and she idles smooth but still getting a shutter like a misfire under load. had it read at shop i know no codes no pending codes. ahhhh what next.
