In/out hose located on valve cover (fresh air)
Dirty air sucked in through breather hole on manifold
On a 2005 Ford Taurus with the 3.0 liter Vulcan , V6 engine : The PCV valve is heated ( in the power distribution box , which is " live " , located at the front of the engine compartment near the battery , mini fuse # 22 is a 5 amp fuse for the heated PCV valve on the Vulcan engine )
I would say that my 1998 S-10 does not have a PCV valve, at all, anywhere.
if you look towards the left of the engine there is a black hose going into the engine with a big plastic nut....just twist the black nut and then pull the hose out and you should see the PCV valve hanging from the end. Just pull it off and replace....
Standard 2.2 engine has 115 h.p. There is an optional 2.2 with 140 h.p.
On the oil fill cap side of the valve cover. To access the PCV valve you will need to remove the protective plastic cover mounted over the valve cover area.Two small nuts are holding it in place. Unlike other PCV valves you may have changed in the past, this one is screwed into the valve cover instead of being inserted into a grommet. You will need a 22 mm deep socket or a suitable wrench to remove it.
To replace the thermostat on a 2002 Cavalier 22 Ecotec, drain the radiator and remove the upper hose assembly. Replace the thermostat and refill the radiator.

valve cover was leaking slightly before the power loss, and the engine has 140,000 miles on it.
The code in which you are referring to is from the OBD-O B16A Pr 3 ecu. Code 22 which is the Variable Valve Timing & Valve Lift Electronic Control Pressure Switch... aka (VTEC Pressure Switch) Hope this helped.
There should be a placard under the hood listing the valve clearance. 12 and 16 valve engines Intake and auxiliary valves .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm) Exhaust Valves (carbureted 12 valve engine) .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm) Exhaust Valves (all others) .009 to .011 in (.22 to .27mm) 8 valve engine Intake valves .005 to .007 in (.12 to .17mm) Exhaust valve .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm)
It is under the thermostat housing (or neck) beside the valve cover. A sure fire method to locate the thermostat on most engines is to follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator back to where it connects to the engine.
You have 3 engine choices in the new Ford F-150. A 4.6L 2-valve V8 that puts out V8 power with class-leading fuel economy of 22 miles per gallon. Next up is the 4.6L 3-valve V8 which is slightly more powerful than the 4.6L 2-valve V8, but gets 1 mpg less at 21 miles per gallon. The most powerful and reliable engine of them all is the 5.4L 3-valve V8. This engine pumps out 330 horsepower and has class-leading fuel economy of 19 mpg.
