Where is the PCV valve on a 2002 Chrysler Town and Country 3.8 engine?

The PCV valve on a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country with a 3.8L engine is typically located on the valve cover. It's a small, usually black, plastic valve. However, the exact location on the valve cover can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration.

To be certain, you should:

1. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and engine will show you a diagram with the exact location.

2. Look closely at the valve cover: The PCV valve is usually fairly accessible, often near the back or side of the valve cover. Look for a small, usually round, valve with a hose connected to it. One hose will usually connect to the intake manifold, and the other to a fitting on the valve cover itself.

3. Use an online parts diagram: Many online auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to search by your vehicle's year, make, and model. Their diagrams often show the location of parts like the PCV valve.

Remember to be careful when working around the engine. Let the engine cool completely before attempting any repairs.
