Ford Ranger 2.3 PCV Valve Replacement

Vehicle is a 1995 Mazda B2300 2.3 Liter SOHC (Same as Ford Ranger). I am showing you how to remove the PCV Valve from a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine SOHC, I think this also applies to 2.5. The PCV Valve should be located under the 2nd spark plug wire on the right side of the engine.The hose connected to the Intake Manifold to the PCV is 3/8 thick. After I connected the hose and finished the video, I realized that it is much easier to put the hose back on with long nose pliers instead of the one's I showed on the video. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. You helped me identify that my PVC valve hose had came off and saved me money!

[@garymartin8619]

Thanks for the video you’re the best video I’ve seen I was going to take it and get it done but watching this I believe I can do it thanks again

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

Not a easy task but you did it!!! Bravo!!! Thanks for making this video. It reminded me of my own ordeal from to last times I had to do it on my 2000 ford ranger 2.5l. This is my next job I hate it!!! Lol

That PCV Valve hose plugs in the bottom of the throttle body not the intake manifold. My ranger was running like shit. I cleaned my throttle body and didn't plug that hose back up under that throttle body like an idiot 😂. Thanks to this video it solved my problem. Thanks bruh. 🖤✊🏾

Does coolant run through the pcv valve hose ?

[@izzybella800]

Awesome video!

Thank You! Best Video on KZbin for replacing the PCV valve on 1995 ish Ford Rangers !! Liked !!

just wanted to say that was a good video and I will be watching more because I have a 1996 ford ranger splash and have 4 cords and abs light on trying to get it up and going to get the sticker and tags on it .

Don't take the top of the hose off. Reach under pop out of the hole, grab hose with pliers and pcv valve with the other hand and pull it out the hose. Replace it back

[@classic287]

You've got patience. I’m worn out from just watching.

[@classic287]

I just did this. What a pain. I scratched the shit out of my hands...

[@castawaygibo9661]

@@classic287 so you take the hose and valve and replace and put back? Is it that easy or im words what are the steps?

[@classic287]

Kevin Parrish, Took me a while to even see it. Put your hand under the intake and search. It’s sitting straight up on a horizontal surface. Pull it straight up. When you go to put the new one in (you already put it on the hose), stand in front of the truck and get your chest on top and look down thru the intake slot and you can just make out the hole it goes in. Be careful putting on other end of hose, so you don’t pull PCV valve out. Good luck...

Bro, use the zoom button.... it's confusing what you're referring to

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

Great info and great video! Thank you so much!!!

[@Not_Sane_Enough87]

These 2.3 engines are a pain to work on. It's even tricky to simply change a valve cover gasket. Good engines but honestly what were the ford engineers smoking when they built it 😂

[@classic287]

And then there is the 8 spark plugs 🙄

So you don’t clean the crankcase breather filter ? I’m looking everywhere for a new one but can’t find one :/

[@bspvdj]

Is there any way to replace the freeze plug that's just behind the pcv without removing the hole intake?

[@ipaporod]

I think it would be a lot easier it you take the intake manifold off, saves a lot of pain !.The intake manifold is very easy to take off and you will see all parts very clearly and reach then with ease.I take it off my 1996 Mazda B2300 every time I am cleaning the throttle body, IAC and EGR.

[@FelixElGato007]

It is a whole lot easier, but there's more to put back together and a bit more time consuming. I found the location of the hose and valve when I disassembled the intake manifold and the throttle body. If I ever have to change this valve again, I'll make a video about it.

[@charlesteel6231]

You have the hose that goes from the throttle body the valve cover plug off ?? This is also part of this system and needs to flow correctly.

[@JoeyArispe]

Thanks

[@freddietamayo1153]

Pla can you help me to find the pcv valve of ford ranger 2007 model 4x2 trekker 2.5 tdci

[@cg84332]

Does the pcv valve make some sort of “click” or audible feedback that lets you know it’s set? Or do you simply just slide it in and push down on it a little? Thanks

[@FelixElGato007]

When you pull out the old PCV it should make a clicking or rattling noise, but if it doesn't it's time for a replacement. Also, you want to make sure that the hose is not ripped or cracked because it could lead to vacuum leaks. When replacing it, you should feel it set in place. Make sure you double check.

[@drlarcey]

Why no engine running comparison

[@ipaporod]

Dude don't take off the whole hose, just pull out the PCV valve from its socket and connect the new PCV valve to the hose and put it back into the socket!.That's what I do on my 1996 Mazda B2300 and I do it in about 5 minutes, same engine and trany as a 1996-97 Ford Ranger.

[@Gizzard4400]

Ya not sure why he thought he had to take the whole hose off lol

[@Nick--hk6tk]

If there isn't buildup like sludge it will be fine other than that if there is buildup chances like the hose will be clogged as well mostly around the the top Vaccum line going into the intake on these engines.

[@classic287]

lickitysplit roberts, because it’s tough to put 2 hands down there. I did it the way he did, today. You can also check the hose while you got it out. You can also put a clamp on it...

Hey man you didn’t clean the hole ? Mine really dirty. Looked at some comments and said use mass air flow cleaner to clean that section off.

[@averymcdaniel423]

It seems difficult especially with tight areas

[@jongonzalez4630]

My tuck idles badly what do I need to do check a vacuum leak?

[@cheapcigs9772]

Check for vacuum leaks, check PCV and IAC valves

Plseaaase sir...Make me a Video of PCV location on Ford/Mazda 2.5D WL 🥺🥺

[@CesarMunoz-oz3fl]

😮

[@acblunden2063]

If anyone is doing this, you MUST use an OEM PCV valve. That statement applies to replacing any car's PCV valve. The difference in engineering spec could be the difference between blowing a head gasket or not. The cost difference is about $3-$4.

[@vorutouzamaki2635]

Hey thanks for the advice just did some research good things I saw this comment now my problem is how I’ll find the original part. I tried ford website but said discontinued. Is there a way for me to fond the original parts
