Where is the PCV valve on a 2002 Chevy Malibu?

The PCV valve on a 2002 Chevy Malibu is typically located on the valve cover. However, the exact location on the valve cover can vary slightly depending on the engine (3.1L, 3.4L, or 3.8L). It's usually a small, cylindrical valve with a single hose connected to it.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Locate the valve cover: This is the top of the engine, usually made of aluminum or plastic.

2. Look for hoses: Follow the hoses that are connected to the valve cover. The PCV valve will be at the end of one of these hoses, often near the back of the valve cover.

3. Look for a small, cylindrical valve: The PCV valve itself is relatively small and may have a noticeable hose barb or fitting.

It's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 2002 Chevy Malibu's engine size for a precise diagram and location. A picture of your engine bay might also help someone online confirm its location if you're having trouble. This information is much more reliable than a general answer.
