Yes there is a pcv valve. It depends on what kind of engine you have but they are usually located on the top of one of the valve covers with a hose going to it.

What would cause spitsputterbackfire and stall out on occasion on 1997 Pontiac Montana Please help?
Sounds like a timing issue. There is no way to advance or retard the timing in the newer models unfornately. Either the distributor\coil pack is going bad or you are getting bad sensor readings from a sensor, possibly the crankshaft position sensor. Is your MIL comming on? If it is then get the code read and start from there. Autozone will read then for free. I hope this helps you some.
What should you do if your 1987 Buick Park Avenue stalls while driving?
Push it to the side of the road and call a tow truck.
Or throw it into neutral, turn the key to the engine off position, and restart the engine while still in motion. Throw it into drive (overdrive works better for my Park Ave) as soon as possible and get the rmps back up.
The pulling over to the side of the road is what I tend to do most of the time, but my car has been having this problem a lot lately and I have encountered several situations where pulling over is not an option or is downright dangerous. Calling for a tow is unnecessary 99% of the time. My Buick starts right back up again after this happens, and on occasion it takes a minute or two to get going. But it has never failed to start up after stalling.

Most common possible problems:
1. Ignition coil faulty 2. EGR valve clogged/sticking 3. Engine Coolant Temperature switch malfunctioning 4. Vacuum leak Also check fuel pressure, hot and cold, to determine if fuel filter is clogged and/or fuel pump is faulty.
