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.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac?
This part runs along the top backside of the engine from one side to the other. It is a long black plastic piece that you can only get from the dealerships. Do not waste your time buying the PCV valve at an auto warehouse because it is NOT what you need. I cannot remember the cost but it was a bit pricey for what you get. If it is clogged though you will notice a huge difference... I know I did. $30 +/-

That depends on the size of the fuel tanks, MPG, terrain, driver controls such as idle time, whether the truck is loaded or empty. Some trucks weight up to as much as 80,000 pounds fully loaded. An empty flat bed truck weighs about 30,000 pounds. 18 wheelers can average 5-7 MPG depending on the variables and can travel an average 1000 miles or more before refueling.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 1999 Mercury Mystique?
OK - just replaced mine. Stand facing the front of the car. Go to the right side and find the air filter assembly. You may want to get a light to see better. The PCV is about "2 o'clock" from the air filter under a bunch of stuff. It's tight, but look for the general shape of the new PCV valve you are using the replace. Bottom part fits into an approx. 5/8" hose and then there's another smaller hose on the side (keep the one from the old valve as you will need it with the new one). Just pull on the old valve to get it out from both connections and replace with the new one. Took 10 minutes TOPS and is very easy.
Answer
The PCV on a FOUR CYLINDER is located on the block in the CENTER of the front. It is hard to find and it is on a metal tube that is BEHIND the thermostat. The thermostat housing MUST BE REMOVED AND THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE TUBE TO THE HEAD MUST BE REMOVED, after that, pull on the tube and the PCV is on the end which inserts into its place on the block. I found this myself after asking three so-called mechanics.

What does a PCV valve contro in ford trucks?
PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation. It prevents an over pressure condition in your engines crankcase that could cause oil to be forced past the pistin rings into the firing chamnber. If your PCV is clogged you will probably see increased oil useage and on some vehicles gas mileage may be affected as well. On cars prior to PCV there was an open tube that vented excess pressure over the side. With PCV the pressure is vented into the intake manifold and used as part of the fuel/air mixture.
