The PCV Valve is located behind the Intake nanifold..and basically it pulls right out. The fuel filter is an easy job..Hust make sure to open your gas cap to let out the preassure so you don't end up with a gallon of gas on the ground..But a pan is recomended because you will spill a lil...

Umm, if the car is FI wouldn't that mean there is static pressure in the fuel lines? I would be unhooking the pump and bleeding the pressure off before doing the fuel filter.

If you do the filter in the morning before starting the car, the pressure will have bled out. Or you can just whack the inertia switch in the trunk and trip the pump while the engine is running so the pressure bleeds off.

When you do the PCV, replace the grommet it sits in, and the screen under it. The valve itself seldom fails, the screen clogs up and it doesn't work anymore.

If you have EFI or CFI...Its in the same place...It sits behind the Intake Manifold on the left hand side..to the right of the A.C. Suitcase. just above your trans dipstick....I know its hard to see back there so take a flash light.....

The switch is a safty device that shuts the fuel pump off in a rear end collision or a collision hard enough to trigger it....But you may also turn it on and off manualy to shut the fuel pump off if you wish....Your fuel filter is located under you driver side back door on the frame rail....When removing it. You need to take off the clips (palstic) and pry them off each side and slide the fuel line off..(and fuel will come out of the line and filter) Then loosen the clamp that holds the filter in place to the frame. Then the filter will slide out of the clamp....When buying a new filter make sure it comes with new plastic clips...

is the switch under the drive-side trunk hinge?

[chitownvic]

No...its on the left hand side of your trunk on the fender..Pull the carpwting back and you'll see it..Its black with a red button on top....The red button is the restart button..the off switch is on the right hand side of it....

Mine is on the hinge and has a white button. Its somewhere in that area tho. If you smack it and it goes "pop" and the motor dies, thats the one. Just push the button on top when you're done changing the filter to reset it.

Fuel filter is on the passenger side in the back, just forward of the rear tire. Its got two small screws holding a plastic cover on, and then plastic hairpin things holding the fuel lines on. Make sure the new filter comes with new hairpins, you'll almost always break one of them removing the filter.

PCV is positive crankcase ventillation. Sucks the oil fumes and blowby out of the crankcase. If its not working, you'll usually see oil film in the throttle body and it will tend to leak more oil. The stupid screen underneath the valve is usually more the problem. Its called a pcv filter, and looks like a wad of steel wool jammed into a metal sleeve. Use a long screw and a pair of vise-grips to pull it out.
