Where is the pcv valve on and 88 ford econoline?

The PCV valve location on an 88 Ford Econoline van varies slightly depending on the engine (e.g., 4.9L inline-6, 5.0L V8, 5.8L V8). It's generally found on the valve cover, but not always in the same spot.

To find it, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It will have a diagram showing the exact location.

2. Look at the valve cover: The PCV valve is usually a small, cylindrical valve with a hose attached to it, often near the rear of the valve cover (but not always). It might have a noticeable cap or be visibly different from other components on the valve cover.

3. Trace the PCV hose: If you can locate the hose that connects to the intake manifold (often a larger hose), follow it back to its origin – that's the PCV valve.

4. Use an online parts diagram: Search for "1988 Ford Econoline [Your Engine Size] parts diagram" online. Many sites (like auto parts retailers) have searchable diagrams that show the location of the PCV valve.

Caution: The engine will be hot after running. Allow it to cool completely before working on it.
