PCV Valve and Filters

[NOMARQUIS]

Can somebody tell me where my PCV valve is and if it's hard to change? I'm not sure I have found it.

Also, is the fuel filter near the rear of the car like on a mid 90's Town Car? Is it held on by plastic clips?

I want to change my air filter, PCV and Fuel Filter. I plan on using Motorcraft parts and keeping the sales receipt so my ESP isn't voided.

Thank you for any help.

No need to replace the PCV....just the fuel and air filters!!:beer: Fuel filter is inside the frame rail in front of the right rear wheel.....plastic locks you PUSH to release!!:rolleyes:

PCV is on the front of the passenger's side valve cover and can easily be cleaned.....if necessary??:confused: Take it loose.....two bolts....shake it back and forth....if it rattles freely it's OK!!:beer:

NOMARQUIS, 15k is WAY too early to think about changing the PCV valve...unless you have massive blow-by problems, 60k would be more like it. But if you must, it's the grey plastic doo-dad toward the front of the passenger-side cam cover and connects to the upper intake. Changing it is sort of a PITA as the rubber piece that connects it to the 90 is heat-shrunk in place. You need a hair-dryer or a heat gun and some muscle to pull it apart.

BTW, it's not necessary to use Motorcraft filters to maintain your warranty. Any quality filter will do, such as WIX, NAPA Gold, or Carquest Blue for example. Just avoid FRAM.

FWIW, I take the PCV valves out of my cars every spring and clean them up with carb cleaner. Yes, I know it's overkill.
