01 Sport Trac Vacuum problems
After reading here on teh forum about possible PCV valve problems, I prepared to replace mine. During my "investigation" of my problem, I found a vacuum hose that was broken and have since heard it is a common trouble area. I am including a photo of where to look for other folks to reference.
Follow this same line around to the rear (drivers side) of the engine, and you will find the PCV valve.
To get it out, don't bother with disconnecting the air lines from it until you get it out, it will rotate freely with its current set up. Just wiggle it a lot by hand, and make about a 3/4 turn adn it should pop out. Then just spread the lines the clips are attached to slightly, and the valve can be slid right out.
I didn't need to change mine, since after cleaning it up, it semed fine.

I replaced my PCV a couple months ago just as a matter of maintenance. What a PITA it would have been had it not been for the fact that I was replacing the intake gaskets at the same time - entire intake manifold was off the truck making it MUCH easier to access the PCV.
BTW - does anyone have an explanation as to why the PCV valve is water-heated?
Good post Edmond. Lots of folks have trouble just locating the PCV on these year models.
