pcv valve
i went to chage my pcv valve yesterday in my 3.1 but when i removed what appears to be a 90 degree grommit/elbow to take out the old valve i didn't see one in there does anyone have a picture of theirs or something, becuase that is a big problem with out that valve for my car i believe.

One way to conquer this problem is to go to parts store & see what they offer ya.
More secure way is to go to GM dealer & seek the illustrated parts diagram for your application.
IF your car had previous owners who knows what they could have "done".

it should be stuck in the 90* elbow or in the gromet in the valve cover. if its in neither, put one in there and stick them back together.

what i found out (forgot to mention i was trying to do this @ night), but the one i got is for the drivers side cause it was the same and yep it needs to be replaces, however the passanger side valve cover has just a gromit and a metal pipe that connects to the intake duct...............now i need to find a EGR under 200 beans

Go to Auto Zone for the EGR, EGR valve = $35, EGR gasket = $4, and the EGR solenoid = $80. That should replace all the EGR parts on the engine. Since you have a 3.1 and I have a 2.8 there might be some difference in parts or price but not by much.

I just got a EGR valve from Advance Auto Parts for my 350....cost $54.....
what exactly is the function of this damn thing? I'm replacing it in my vehicle beause the original one has leaks.
