I'm fairly certain that has been spoken on before but can't seem to locate a thread specific to it.
So, The wife's 2001 V-6 Cougar has a PCV problem...according to the codes. Problem is I cant locate the actual Valve. and the FORD part I bought only contains a T...and L, and a few small hoses...no valve.
I traced the PC vacuum hose down to under the intake and with a flashlight an needle-nose pliers pulled the hose off the barb fitting there. NO VALVE! I replaced that hose,..all the little fittings that came with the New Valve Part. I also removed the T-Body and EGR Valve and Tube for cleaning just to be in good measure and hoped it would clear the code.......no such luck.
So the Check-Engine lite stays on...the code they claim still says PCV problems.
Well I am sure I'm not the only person to have a Cougar related PC valve problem on a Cougar with an apparent non-existing PC valve .:whoaa:
At this point I just want the Check-Engine lite out and the code erased. Yes I have disconnected the battery for reset.
Would be much obliged if anyone could help me here. Thanx:hy:
