PCV Valve - Check and replace, if necessary. That's what our maintenance schedule says. Well, here it is:

The PCV valve is sealed to the intake manifold with two o-rings.
Remove PCV valve by unscrewing 90 degrees until it just pops out. I found pliers to be handy.

After tabs have cleared, pull valve straight up from intake manifold.
Check condition of two valve O-rings - grease them with a little engine oil, which should be almost dripping from the PCV valve anyway, just smear a little on the o-rings with your finger.

Give it a little shake - it should rattle. If it doesn't rattle, you need to replace it. Good luck finding it. I tried checker and autozone, they can't even order it yet. At checker, only the MOPAR part came up, listed at $42, but it wasn't available for order.

So thats the PCV valve.....i took that thing off and painted the top sublime last year

Just checked it and it seems to be fine, thanks for the "how to"

I paid $23 and some change from my Dodge dealer at their cost.

great write up, i didnt know how to change one thanks, at what miles do you change it?

I knew where it was, but just didn't know how to check if it's still working. So shaking it is the way to check if it's good?

Yes .... shake it ... if it rattles, then it is still not gunked up and working properly ...

You've made the famous "How do I... Everything" thread..

If you a have a 3.5L, that's NOT where the PCV is located.

I just changed mine yesterday

Here's the old white one (new piece is all black) and the packaging showing the part # I got from trademotion.com (aka Franklin Sussex Auto Mall) for about $27 + shipping :

PS : I originally ordered from rockauto.com, the part number listed for the 2007s, but then I got an e-mail saying the part number is no longer available and the order was cancelled, so I ordered the Mopar piece from trademotion.com

Can these valves be cleaned and put back or does a new one have to be put in?

 

[slvr06CHARGER]

you can clean it
just put a little oil on the o-rings again before you put it back in

[wickedchargerrt]

The 3.5 probably doesnt have one. Not much use for one

 

[06 mid blue se]

[wickedchargerrt]

What???? then where do you hook up the bt catch can at?

To vacuum lines like you do on every other vehicle.

Does anyone have a pic of the correct location of a catch can installed on a 3.5L? Where is the pcv? The hose barb that is in right valve cover that the hose going to the intake is welded /pressed in. Do i nee to remove the valve cover to replace the pvc valve?
