PCV Valve location

Where is the PCV valve on a 94 v6? I've looked and looked, and my haynes said nothing about the location on a v6. The parts houses carry them but i cant find the location. You more experienced toy owners will make me feel stupid when you tell me either there isn't one, or its right in front of me.

I don't have a 6cylinder, but I would imagine that they are on top of the valve cover. There should be a couple hoses coming out of the top of your valve covers, at least one to vent it, and another would be the pcv. The vent will have nothing under the hose. When you pull the hose on the pcv, you'll see a spark plug sized thing stuck into the valve cover.

its not on the valve cover like it is on the 4 cyl. iv'e already looked there. im not that retarted. maybe someone who actually has a v6 (or at least has worked on one) should reply to my request. the v6 is a little harder to work on than a 4 cyl.

Umm, Did you look at the link I posted, It shows a diagram of the pcv assembly, should be on what looks to me like the passenger side valve cover, probably hidden by the intake manifold...

Sure about that? I was just trying to be helpful and the purpose the pcv serves is the same no matter your engine. It vents the crank case. You were getting your panties all in a bunch when no one responded for a whole two hours so I thought I'd throw something out there for you.

Search if you don't want help. It's what you should have done in the first place anyways.

Like i said. I will feel stupid after I post this thread. Sorry, 83, but i was a little frustrated to find out that when i looked at the drivers valve cover, i noticed that im gonna have to replace the gaskets on both. Got a little pissed. Now i have to figure out how to pull the intake chamber off to do the job. Should have never looked in the first place. 'Got my panties in a bunch' is right.
