PCV Valve Location: 99 prerunner 2.7L automatic

Hello all. Where is the PCV valve located on a 2.7L automatic on a 99 prerunner? I plan to do a tune-up this weekend and want to change out my pcv valve since theyre not that expensive. Thanks

 

It's behind the hard plastic piece going to throttle body from airbox assy. Got a bend in it.

 

thanks for reply. is this the plastic intake pipe youre talking about? so I have to remove the whole intake to access the pcv valve? is the pcv valve difficult to remove/install? thanks

 

No you don't have to remove intake. Just pull pcv out of grommet. Small hose clamp on other end. Simple to do. If pcv rattles it is stiill good.

 

I cleaned mine a few weeks ago and the grommet was so brittle , a few pieces broke off when I was taking it out.

So I replaced it but as I was taking the rest of the old grommet out...it fell into the valve cover.

I was pretty thankful I'd just gotten a set of hooks and picks in the mail from HF.

I have the exact same truck as you so I'm just passing along a quick way to turn a 5 minute job into 30 minutes wearing a headlamp.

 

That's murphys law. That sounds like my kind of luck!haha

 

thanks for the reply guys. does a new pcv valve come with that rubber grommet? so if it rattles then my pcv is still good? thanks

 

Got to buy grommet if you need one. If it's still rubbery, your good. You can still clean pcv even if it rattles. Brake cleaner works. Rattle is good sound.

 

cool thanks again for replies. Im going to do tune-up this weekend Im a little nervous lol.
