PCV valve connection pic

[Ger42]

How is the PCV valve supposed to be connected?
Anyone got a pic? This is mine. Hard plastic hose into a clear rubber house with a black rubber hose into the clear with the PCV in the black rubber hose.

How do you get the hose connected to the intake off. Seems to be a hard tube in it and not enough room to pull it off. Do I have to remove the upper intake?

Thanks in advance for any help

I don't know why no one else has answered but it looks to me like you're far away from the PCV valve. The PCV valve pops right off the top of the valve cover and requires no tools for installation or removal. It's supposed to look more like this:

Metal part goes into the valve cover.

somebody rigged a bypass to your pcv valve, i can tell u that much yours is newer than mine, what yr is that? you do have room to take the rubber hose off of the plastic intake tube, the tube on the upper plenum does not come out if im not mistaken.

The problem I have is the plastic part on the top hose is a larger size then the top of the PCV valve. I'm thinking there is a hose that goes on the top that narrows down to the size that fits the PCV.

Well if that really is the PCV valve then rurouni has to be right about someone having rigged something... that looks like a 4.0 PCV valve with the metal pipe coming out of it like that.

it is a 3.0 pcv valve, and they have 2 hoses on the, a smaller on top and a larger that goes to the other. somebody rigged the crap out of that thinking it would help, the hose on the plenum can be removed, id look at another trk of similar yr or an escape (plastic plenum) and see how its made. personally what i would do is get the hose off the plenum out the hole in the valve cover, make a reducer to fit the large end of the new pcv valve, and put the small hose where it belongs on the upper prong of the new pcv valve, problem solved. somebody bypassed your pcv entirely w/ rubber hoses, they took the big hose from the plenum (the correct one) and put a larger piece onto it via hose clamp, then tied the small one into that hose, then shoved that end into your valve cover.

Believe it or not there is a PCV valve under all of that. Here is the old one. I put in a new valve and rigged it up like I found it. Look on the first photo under the clip is the PCV.
