Ok guys. I finaly got my car back! I was doing my tune up today. I got the Trany, Oil, and Rear Dif. Fluids changed. It came time to put in my new PCV valve, and I realized I didn't know where it was. I pulled out that Chilton's Manual and I found that it only covers the 3.4 and the 5.7.
Where is the PCV valve located on the 3.8 engine?
Thanks!

It is located in the intake plenum(or you could say manifold) under a cover. When you look at the top of the engine. You'll see 3800. ok about a inch or two to the left of 3800, you should see a little black cover with two bolts. that is your PCV. Remove the two bolts. Use needle-nise pliers to withdraw the PCV valve and spring from the manifold. Watch to make sure you do not lose the O-ring. Then just replace it, and your done. :D
And if the above great description does not help just look on the black plastic piece on top of the radiator.
There is an emmissions diagram and it will show you exactly where the PCV valve is

Yeah. I figured that it would be on that sticker. The only problem is...I don't have that sticker [img]smile.gif[/img] I got in an acident, and the clip they used to fix my car turned out to be from a 3.4. So that plastic peice has the 3.4 stickers on it... :rolleyes:
But, my dad was looking over the car with me, and I said, how about that black cover. He figured it had to be lower down on the engine, so we didn't check it. (I trust his car knowledge much more than mine) Well, chalk one up for me! lol [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hello, so I changed the front bearings on the bird and the ABS inoperative light came on. I made a mistake of not removing negative battery cable. Now...
I usually have to double, triple my headlight switch for them to come up on my 97 Firebird. I cleaned all connections. Could it be the headlight switch...
