PCV valve

  • Sponsors (?)


On your car, only the passenger's side has an actual PCV; the driver's side thing on the valve cover is just a breather. There is no reason to take the driver's side breather off, and the passenger's side PCV should slide out pretty easily.
 
The PCV, at least on mine, has a couple of notches that engage the valvecover mating part to ensure a tight seal and that the valve doesn't back out. The valve does remove with a counterclockwise twist but you might take a gander at the notches that I talked about on the valve itself to see if you can assist the removal process by lifting tabs or pushing down as you turn etc. You don't want to snap the plastic body of the thing in the process...
