I don't know how to post pictures on here... So, here is the info. What is the PCV valve and what does it do?The blowby vapors that end up in an engine's crankcase contain moisture as well as combustion byproducts and unburned fuel vapors. The crankcase is sealed to prevent the escape of these gases into the atmosphere, but the vapors must be removed to prevent oil contamination that leads to sludge formation. The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system siphons these vapors from the crankcase and routes them into the intake manifold so they can be reburned in the engine. The main component in the PCV system is the PCV valve, which is usually located in the valve cover. A hose connects the PCV valve to the intake manifold. A second hose between the air cleaner and crankcase or other valve cover (V6 or V8 applications) provides fresh air to help flush the vapors out of the crankcase. Some engines have a separate air filter for the PCV breather hose located inside the air cleaner. The PCV valve is a spring-loaded valve with a specific orifice size designed to restrict the amount of air that's siphoned from the crankcase into the intake manifold. This is necessary because air drawn through the valve from the crankcase has a leaning effect on the fuel mixture much the same as a vacuum leak. So air flow through the valve must be controlled within certain limits. At idle, air flow is reduced because little blowby is produced. When the engine is cruising and vacuum is high, airflow through the PCV valve is at a maximum to purge the blowby vapors from the crankcase. It's important to note that PCV valves are sized for specific engine applications. The wrong PCV valve for an application can flow too much or too little air causing driveability problems. Varnish deposits can clog the valve, so replacement for preventative maintenance is recommended (every 50,000 miles usually). Not all engines have PCV valves. Some (like Ford Escort, GM FWD cars with the Quad Four engine, etc.) ventilate the crankcase with a small breather hose and calibrated orifice. There is no spring-loaded PCV valve. On these applications, no maintenance is usually necessary.
It's on the passenger side of the motor under the valve cover.
Do you mean PCV ? - ( Positive Crankcase Ventilation ) valve
it's up under the manifold on the drivers side. Hunnybunny

Locate pcv valve on 1995 ford contour
Yes
The PCV valve is located on the passenger side valve cover. It cost about $3.00 to replace. Simply pull up on the vacuum line and the PCV will more than likely pull out of the gromlet. It may take a little effort, but pull the PCV valve from the line and install a the new one.
The pcv valve is on the passenger side valve cover
IT IS LOCATED ON DRIVERSIDE REAR OF VALVE COVER ON THE CORNER
the PCV is on top of the left valve cover if your engine is a 5.4 mostlikely it should be the same for the 4.6 hope this helps Jennifer
the pcv valve is located on top of the valve cover
The PCV valve on 1992 ford mustang 5.0 is on the drivers side.
