Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / November 2008PCV valve on 2001 Frontier
I have followed this group from time to time for a couple of years and have found good advice here. As I finally have a new server that allows me to post, I can finally pose a question of my own. My Frontier has the 2.4 L engine with auto trans and factory air. It has standard US emissions configuration, AFAIK. I did a tune up at 80K plus miles a few months ago. I bought OEM plugs, wires, cap, rotor, breather filter, air filter, and PCV valve from an online supplier. The catalog listed the PCV for my truck. I have an electronic version ( pdf files ) of the Nissan factory shop manual. They both tell me to replace the valve. I can't find it. I took it to a local garage, accepting they might think me an idiot. They can't find it, either. Every vehicle I have had for the last 30 years has the valve at the air filter housing, or in the tube leading to it. The manual has no useful illustrations I have been able to find. Does this vehicle actually have a PCV valve, or was it omitted for some reason? Anyone who can offer an idea, or has experience to share, please let me know.

One goes to the air filter housing. The other goes to the PCV valve which is typically screwed into the intake manifold. Trace the two hoses back and you should find it at the end of one of them. Good luck. Al I believe it is under the intake manifold and a bear to get to. Striker >I have followed this group from time to time for a couple of years and have >found good advice here.

What were they thinking?
