I'm still having the horrible Automatic Climate Control problem and
nobody seems to have any known solutions/answer/remedies for it.

Besides the ATC problem I'm having a problem finding replacement
parts.

PCV (positive Crank case ventilation)

#1  PCV Valve  -- Who sells it?  Where is it located??

#2  PCV Filter -- Where is it located, does it even exist on the
Duratec 24 Valve Engine?  Who makes it????

None of these two items were listed on a copy of Penzoil or Fram
catalog books.

The car manual says to PCV Valve must be replaced after 100,000 miles.
I'm going to ignore that recomendation and replace the cheap Valve
and Filter parts every 30,000 miles, same with the automatic transaxle
fluid, and fuel filter.

It's only a cheap replacement part and if they clog up, all the engine
seals blow out and you need a new engine.  So why not do it as cheap
insurance?

But, what would cause it/them to clog?

Your driving habits?

It looks like rockauto.com has your PCV valve (look under "emissions").
They sell a lot of Motorcraft parts.  If you follow Ford's recommended
maintenance schedule you will save yourself money and time.  It keeps me
busy enough.
