Where is the PCV valve on a 1995 Nissan pickup?

The PCV valve on a 1995 Nissan pickup (likely a Hardbody D21) is typically located on the valve cover. However, its exact location on the valve cover can vary slightly depending on the engine (e.g., KA24E, KA24DE).

To find it:

1. Locate the valve cover: This is the topmost part of the engine, often with a noticeable rectangular or oblong shape. It's usually made of metal or plastic.

2. Look for a small, usually plastic, valve with a single hose connected: The PCV valve is relatively small and may have a slight indentation or a cap on top. The hose connected to it will typically be thin and routed to the intake manifold.

3. Check your owner's manual: If you have the owner's manual, it should have a diagram showing the location of the PCV valve.

4. Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual specific to your 1995 Nissan pickup will give you precise diagrams and instructions. This is the most reliable method.

Caution: The engine will be hot after running, so allow it to cool completely before attempting to locate the valve.
