Supreme Cutlass Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 my PCV valve needs to be changed, but after 13 years it's having a little troube coming out of the tube (in other words; IT WON'T MOVE) any tips for getting this sucker out????? Quote
Psych0matt Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 I had the same problem trying to do mine 2 months ago... free bump, cuz if this gets figured out im going to do mine too 8) I tried pulling on it with anything and everything, while the engine was rocked forward to do my plugs and no luck at all Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Posted June 20, 2005 I actually managed to get it out just now. Apparrently the secret is to latch onto the old PCV valve with a small pair of vice-grips, then, while cursing like a sailor really loudly, pull and twist in all directions, then it will come out. Luckly putting the new one in is ALOT easier than taking the old one out. Quote

gp90se Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 autozone sells a replacement hose in thier help section thats a direct replacement in case yours is cracked Quote
wbody1973 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 the pcv valve hooks onto a hose coming from the top of the engine. does anything else connect to the end of the valve? The car starts and runs, but i am still missing a connection off my valve cover. i have a 92 lumina, but the engine is a different year. most of the valve covers have the vacume line plug into the left side, mine plugs in the upper right hand corner. i am assuming that my mechanic missplaces the line Needless to say, i still have a $200 dollar bill that'll never be paid since he left me hanging.
