Hello,

I need help with my 2001 ford ranger, its missing a valve (I think its a valve red circle in image) where a tube goes to deal with the gasses, anyone know what the name of it is / where to buy one, or if anyone know where I can get a engine repair manual for my model, any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

 

That is part of the PCV (positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. There is a rubber boot that comes off that nipple, and does a sort of 90 degree turn to horizontal as well as a 45 degree turn to the passenger front. From there is attached a plastic tube, about 1/4 inch in diameter, a foot in length. This tube will then run directly to the "back" of the rubber air intake hose, between the large turn to the throttle body and the MAF wiring harness retention point. If you look at your picture, imagine drawing a straight line from the nipple on the valve cover to the front of the truck. Then look in that vicinity on the back of the rubber air intake, and you should find a hole there.

 

As far as the tube is concerned, I can do some digging, but you may just have to find a tube from a junkyard vehicle, or otherwise place a hose and a couple appropriately sized nipples on it. The PCV system on these trucks is kind of lack luster, so you may even opt to pull that line and place an air oil separator/catch can in line instead.

 

Thanks! I'll look into it, know that I know where it goes should be easier to figure it out.

 

will a EV-252 PCV Valve work on this ?

 

So I been looking around and cannot find the part number for that PCV rubber boot and the hose, does anyone know where I can find it?

on other matters I have also noticed there is another thing missing anyone know what this is?? (attached image) it says PBF CF 30 on the nut and the sticker says 1S7A-9F479-AB, there is olso that brownish cable that is just hanging out there, don't know what it is .

Regarding the PCV is the valve inside or does it need a check valve in the rubber boot?

any help is appreciated thanks.
