The PCV valve on any Kia with the 1.8 liter DOHC 4 cylinder(Sephia or Spectra) is located in the aluminum valve cover on top of the engine, on the passenger side and facing the firewall. There is a 3/8" i.d. neoprene hose about 5" long connecting the valve to the intake manifold, with a "squeeze type" hose clamp on each end of the hose. Simply squeeze the clamps with a pair of pliers and move them toward the center of the hose, then work the hose off the fitting on the intake manifold and PCV valve. The valve will probably pull out of the engine valve cover along with the hose. Place the new valve in the valve cover, then reattach the hose and move the clamps back to their original position with pliers. CAUTION: The old hose, if it hasn't been replaced before, will be hard and brittle, and may break. Just get a 6" piece of 3/8" neoprene fuel hose at your parts store, cut it to length, and install it on the PCV valve and manifold fitting with the old clamps. You're done!
