1. Remove the 4 screws that hold the large plastic engine cover in place. Remove the plastic cover.

2. Looking at the engine from the front (driver's seat will be to your right) you will note the 4 plug wires at the top of the engine. Looking almost directly behind the plug wire on the right, you will notice a BLACK S-SHAPED HOSE running horizontally from the main engine block backwards to the silver colored aluminum breather box at the rear of the engine compartment.

3. YOU WIL NOT IMMEDIATELY see the PCV Valve because it is hidden from view by being wrapped in a 1 inch spongey black rubber fitting on one end of the S-shaped hose mentioned in step 2.

4. Using pliers, compress the clamp and pull loose the S shaped hose.

5. Now use a screw driver to pry off the 1 inch spongey black rubber cover off of the hidden PCV Valve.

6. Once the spongey rubber wrapping is removed, there sits your PCV Valve!!!

It took me several phone calls, and two hours of frustration to figure this out. Hopefully, this helps someone.
