What You'll Need
- New PCV valve (check your owner's manual for the correct part number)
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Pliers
- Shop towel
Here's How:
1. Locate the PCV valve. The PCV valve is usually a small, black or gray plastic or metal canister located on the back of the engine, near the valve cover. It will have a hose connected on one end and a rubber grommet on the other end.
2. Remove the old PCV valve. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the rubber grommet on the PCV valve out of the valve cover. Then, use pliers to grasp the PCV valve and pull it out.
3. Clean the PCV valve passage. Use a shop towel to clean the PCV valve passage in the valve cover. This will help ensure that the new PCV valve works properly.
4. Install the new PCV valve. Insert the new PCV valve into the valve cover passage and push it in until the grommet pops into place.
5. Re-attach the hose. Reattach the hose to the PCV valve.
6. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to circulate the oil through the PCV system and ensure that the new PCV valve is working properly.
That's it! You have now successfully replaced the PCV valve on your Chrysler Town and Country.
