1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera PCV Valve
Where the heck is this thing? The aftermarket repair book shows a
picture of it on the 3.3 but it's not there on my car. I've looked all around and it is nowhere to be found. It's supposed to be in front of the first plug on the front left side. Help heheh Joseph |

Seriously? Oh man... Who engineered this thing? hehe
The plugs are damn near impossible to get out in the back, and it took me almost 2 hours to figure out how to open the plug wire route. I was near just prying it out... Thanks! |

I was > near just prying it out... > > Thanks! > ...from a forum somewhere on Google: "Changing a PCV valve is such a routine operation that shop manuals don't even cover it. However, GM really painted themselves into a corner on the 3.3 Liter engine. I am working on a 1993 Olds Cierra but the problem must be the same on Buicks etc. as well. The PCV valve is located below the fuel rail right next to the intake manifold on the front of the engine (right side of the car)." Sincerely hope this may help a bit. sdlomi2 |

I got it out!
Had to disconnect some wires. The clip was a royal pain, but was able to shift it down on the valve then pry the valve up until it popped out. Getting it back on was an equal pain in the butt, but it went on. Whew! |

It slides to the side to snap out. It doesn't just unclip and pull out
like one would intuitively believe. |
