It's the same for E and DE.

MyFirst240SX · 01-25-2002, 06:11 PM

Are your sure?  My book says that the PCV is down in the front a little underneath where the valve cover gasket is.  It sasy this is for the KA24DE

Hey, I know where it is.  At least, I know where it is on the truck, but it should be the same.  Look under the intake manifold, in the most annoying possible place.  It should be right near the front of the engine, hidden under the manifold.  You can get it from the side with a 17 mm wrench, I think.  

MyFirst240SX · 01-25-2002, 11:42 PM

Ill check out that tomorow, its 1:31 am.  Hmm that sux.  SO whats that thing on top of the Head?

chickenmanq · 01-26-2002, 03:37 PM

I'm not sure what thing on the head you're referring to.  There are all sorts of valves and sensors near the head.  Where exactly is this one located?

MyFirst240SX · 01-26-2002, 04:33 PM

on the top of the Head Manifold i think its called(the thing that says Nissan 2400 or what ever)on the front left of it. there is a valve or soemthing with a 90º bend towards the throttle body.  THe PCV valve is actually on the THrottle Body.  I found it today.

chickenmanq · 01-26-2002, 10:21 PM

Whoa, wait a minute.  PCV valve can't be on the throttle body.  PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation.  The valve that is near your throttle body should be the EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation, or the Breather filter.  A little tube that runs from your valve cover to you air filter box and has a little piece of foam or something in it.  Oily.  Your PCV valve should be a smallish, 1.5" long metal fitting, with a pressure sensitive spring type deal on one end.  Poke a pen in it, and the metal will move.  Oh yeah, call Autozone, and they can look up the location of the PCV on their computer for you.  IT will tell you right where it is.
