Hello all,

Does anyone have any idea how long it usually takes to replace a pcv valve on a 6-cyl 2001 Escape XLT?

Thanks!

 

I'm may not do a good job clearly explaining the location, but on the V6 engine, the PCV valve is on top of the engine...drivers side. Pull the air inlet tube off that's between the air filter and the throttle body. It's right under the throttle body. It has a 3/4 inch hose attached to it. It has a square head on it and screws into the oil baffle. I used a 7/8 wrench to twist if off...1/4 turn does it. It is extremely difficult to reach. I used the wrench like a screw driver, turning it once the wrench was around the PCV square head. Some folks use a long pliers or needle nose. If you look on the emmisions label under the hood, it should show the PCV in the diagram.

It took me about 30 minutes to do this job. 15 once I knew what I was doing.

It is for an 03 but I would think it would be close to the same for you.
