If you lookng at the engine fron the front of the car, you will see a 90 degree pipe like device sticking out from the right side valve cover and it connects via a small hose to the intake manifold vacum port. That unit on the valve cover is the pCV valve.I suggest you also change the hose as well as it is sure to crack and break off ..they usually get brittle.

Thanks, do I just pull out the valve or is it something I have to twist. It seems to be stuck pretty good
Thanks

yeah a good twist and pull should get it out. Change the rubber grommet as well because it's brittle and will crack.

Thanks, I finally got it out...took forever, i guess no one had ever changed it. I yanked on it so hard that the original pcv valve is now lost some where inside the engine compartment.
Well, when i put the new one in, its not going in all the way, does it have to be a snug fit? cuz its almost maybe .02 inches off. I started the car and it seems to be running fine
Thanks
