Crankcases and PCV Valves
Basically, a crankcase is the casing for the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. Combustion produces pressure within the crankcase. Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves regulate the vapor pressure within the engine and recycle it back into the engine.

If I remember correctly, it's not directly on the motor, but off of a pipe, but I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

How do you reset the check engine light on a 1997 Mazda 626?
"Disconnect the negative terminal and push brake pedal for 30 seconds" worked great! One note: You must use actual key to unlock doors after battery disconnect to reset car alarm so car will start.
I recomend getting the car checked out by a professional. And you never unhook the positive battery cable first, you always do the negative firstl. And sometimes when you do this it erases the computers memory. so take to a professional.
If you HAVE TO, disconnect the negative battery terminal. Put your foot on the brake pedal for 30+ seconds.
I tried the previous answer of removing the negative battery cable, and holding the brake pedal for 30 seconds and it WORKED!!! Just got back from the emissions test, and passed. THANKS!!!

on the v6 engine. look at the throttle body, below that you see the fuel line, and blow that you see where the fat radiator hose goes into the motor, its behind that! after you pull the rubber tube out, I used a deep socket to twist it out. test fit the socket with your replacement valve. not exactly the right shape, but works.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 1992 Pontiac LeMans 4 cylinder?
It should be located right on top of the valve cover, if not then it would be inline with about a 3/8" hose leading over to the intake manifold. There are not that many vacuum lines there, so it shouldn't be that hard to find. The PCV system utilizes a fixed orifice in the intake manifold. There is not a replaceable valve according to Alldata.
