OMG it's almost worth paying a mechanic $200 to go through all this for a $14 part! But then I read some of your comments and realized a lot of this work was to get to the valve cover gaskets so I'm game. Just wish I still had my Impala V8. That car had acres of room around the engine to work with.
Definitely not a bad job at all and if possible plan to do and replace other things on the way, this would be a great time for tune up! All 6 Spark plugs! And at least the back three coil packs Clean throttle body heater hoses and any other hoses that look to be failing! Then by the time all this has been looked over and replaced , hey there is the pcv valve ready to be replaced! Thanks for watching! Cheers
Charley B Im glad you found what you are looking for. Any questions feel free to ask. I see that you haven’t subscribed. Please do. Thanks for watching
A tip, it's a good time to change the gaskets, change the spark plugs and clean the throttle body while you are in there so you don't have to do all this again.
Exactly. Usually when you get a Pcv/hose code you'll get a engine bank lean and intake gasket code and for an extra 50 bucks you can do all this in 1 shot. Definitely worth it.
You DON'T have to take ANYTHING apart. Use a 12 point 7/8"(23mm) socket on a 12" extension. Carefully fish it in from the wheel well cover area, and it will line up perfectly. 1/2-1 turn after attaching your socket wrench, and it's out. The whole process took me less than 10 minutes. BTW use a 3/8" extension and socket, slides in no problem!
Well, I dont know if that would've worked on my 2001 Mercury Sable or not. But I spent nearly a week getting that damn PCV valve out of that Duratec engine. So much labor to replace a little $15 plastic part
Should've done this while I was changing the valve cover gaskets. Ford has to make it difficult to replace a cheap PCV valve. When I had my Camry, it was a 5 minute job
I remove my the MAF to airbox boot thing. Use a 1/2 inch drive 6+ inch extension and 12 point 7/8 If you are in front the drive end of extension is at about 2 o clock at about 5 standing on drivers fender. R&R PXV hose, try to find a silicone replacement to use. Push wiring harness harness aside engage the socket turn counter clock wise bout a 1/4 turn
Might as well do a full on tune up at this point, there, spark plugs throttle body clean etc.oh and since your there clean the intake valves. Then after all that do the pcv valve.
the 01 thru i think 04 i don't know for sure but those early years they are in the very middle, on the top of the block. you will have to remove the entire upper intake(plastic) you don't have to remove the lowers but you'll need to buy a large socket to get it out otherwise you also have to remove the fuel rails....and investors wonder why ford stock plummets a 3-5 hour pcv change out.
@@andyabel3072 My 05 the PCV valve is in the rear valve cover. Only takes about 3-5 mins to swap out, but it leaves you with scaped up and bloodied knuckes... lol
Video would've been perfect had you shown you actually replacing the PCV valve. Still it's a useful video showing how to remove a lot of the components.
You take about changing PCV valve but what about the housing .. I removed my housing and you guess right I have to remove the intake housing and both heads and I discovered a heavy build up of old oil. I wish to remove the block and do an overhaul.. How difercult is it. with cleaning all the moving part.
You skipped the part of putting the valve back in. Would the valve only go in one way, just replaced mines and I heard it clip on but it doesn’t feel tight
You don't have to go through all that. Just reach under there, and grab, twist, and pull out. No need to remove the whole manifold. I've done it twice. It's a challenge, but way easier than removing the whole manifold.
Simon Black I was doing the valve cover gaskets while doing this video , that is why I had the valve cover off, I would not take off the valve cover to simply replace the pcv. Just made it easy to show you guys
Then change the heading because its deceiving people are going to go through a whole lot of work to reach the PVC. It's easy to remove without any of this.
I have the 2.3l version and it's under the effin intake manifold! This is simple compared to that. As much as I love the Escape I hate things about it too
Use a 6 + inch 1/2 inch drive extension with a12 point 7/8ths deep well. Standing on driver side facing engine the drive e d of extension will be pointed at about 5 o clock. You may need to move that wiring g harness a bit.
Some mechanics young kids are crazy sounds funny you don't have to take the intake off to change the damn PVC valve under 6 cylinder Mazda tribute Ford escape Mercury Mariner whatever you want to call it you get it right from the side of the block good video but you wasted your time I'm not going to watch it cuz I replaced it and it's right in the side don't have to take off the damn intake
I’ve herd it can be done without intake removal, and I’m certain it can, this is for illustration. Not everyone does things the same way. Plus I was already there replacing valve cover gaskets, Likely caused by a bad PCV. Keep watching 🍻
It is possible to change the PCV valve using a pair of very long nose pliers. Who the Hell would use a socket on a plastic part.? I am told the correct size socket is 23mm, but I certainly wouldn't use one. The Ford Escape(mine is a 2003) 3 liter is a pain in the ass do do many things. Burying the alternator under the engine & near the exhaust so that it is exposed to heat, having to remove the passenger side wheel & then a fender well panel , a dust shield, the right half shaft, & then the alternator from the bracket & then the bracket from the block, & in some years a cooling housing, & then twist & turn the alternator to fish it out of the hole where the half shaft goes is inexcusable. The video left gaps in procedures that presumed the viewers were knowledgeable enough that showing these were unnecessary. The voice instructions were mumbled & difficult to hear. Folks reasonably adept at working on vehicles would benefit from this video, but those who need ordered step by step instructions were excluded. More is the pity.
Brian Hind thanks for your perception on things, I believe you are correct about, that engineers could have designed it better! The fact that you request step by step in order procedural movements is by far what you are actually going to get ! This video is to help the guy who is one up on others and can start and finish the job, I have done both types of videos and they do both clearly have there benefits, this videos purpose was to cover the most important parts, quickly and accurately as possible, the reason I did this is the simple fact that if you cannot put this video and a book together and get the job done, save your money and get repairs done by a professional! You do not belong under the hood of a vehicle, thanks for watching. cheers!
@@ATEMOFFROAD Thanks for your rapid reply.

One of the best videos I've seen...nice professional mechanical knowlede mixed with perfect amateur cameraman skills.
Thank you so much for this video, helped me out huge this past weekend.
You skipped the whole taking it off part. Thank you so much.
josb inyoface 4:35 in the video? Lift the tab with a screwdriver and rotate the Pcv valve up and counter clockwise like your unthreading a bolt!
On my ford 500 Limited the PCV is easy. Right on top.
💥 nice

Can you do a video on how to change a 2013 ford escape 1.6 litre ecoboost pcv valve
Might as well do a full on tune up at this point, there, spark plugs throttle body clean etc.oh and since your there clean the intake valves. Then after all that do the pcv valve.
Yes I did, it’s in other videos 🍻
Wow Bud! This was a very thorough walk through. Good Job!
Susan Asker
Nice , thank you !! Cheers!
The torque spec for the intake bolts are 89 In-lbs or 7.41 ft-lbs. ( Could have told us on the video. )
Valueless Dollar , thanks buddy!! I shortly realized this soon after !! Cheers
Good video.
Thanks for watching
@@ATEMOFFROAD Indeed, very helpful.
You should list your year as this is nothing like my 01 escape
Yeah, what year? My 2002 Escape doesn't have the PCV valve in the same location as yours.

I don't think you ever showed how to put in a second PVC valve
Man turned a 5 minute job into a 2 hour one.
😳With all tht wire removal action id say thts a Bad hit for a novice to try & replicate...HOLY WOOZERS🤣🤣
Thanks for watching 🍻
There was more detail on everything else but the pcv valve. otherwise, nice video
You skipped the part of putting the valve back in. Would the valve only go in one way, just replaced mines and I heard it clip on but it doesn’t feel tight
Click is normal that’s the tab seating in position the o rings do the rest of the sealing , and may feel a little loose..
Hi does the 2.3 Maverick/escape also have this valve.
It will be simple on yours as it is a straight open 4cylinder engine
what year is this escape? Kinda important
2007
@@ATEMOFFROAD Thank you, I have an 09 and they have a different engine

what year escapes is this for? Maybe add to the title. thanks for the video.

@@ATEMOFFROAD thanks!
Oh God, i replace it with my hand without remove anything!!
Haha 😂 nice 👍🏼
Ridiculous. On any other car replacing a PCV value is a 30 second fix.
I agree but you can test the unit before replacement
Dude what are you doing?
This is just way too involved and so much can go wrong taking all those parts off for a PCV valve
Looks worse than it is. I pulled my intake to do replace the coils. Less than an hour in and out.
I have the 2.3l version and it's under the effin intake manifold! This is simple compared to that. As much as I love the Escape I hate things about it too
Its just like lego to do it. Fairly organized removal. Just prop that hood wayyy back with a 2×4 n do it in the sunshine
Use a 6 + inch 1/2 inch drive extension with a12 point 7/8ths deep well. Standing on driver side facing engine the drive e d of extension will be pointed at about 5 o clock.
