Hello, I am an auto tech school student.
As an exercise I just did a tune up on a 2001Mercury Sable LS 24V DOHC.
It has 100,000 miles.
After the tune up I realized I had failed to follow the maintenance schedule which says to replace the spark plugs and PCV valve. I only replaced the spark plugs. Out of curiosity I began to research the location of the PCV valve though I do not plan to replace it at this time.
Through school I have access to Mitchell online service (ondemand5.com).
I am having a rough time locating the PCV valve with this service. The estimator says replacing the PCV valve takes .5 hours.
My hunch is the PCV valve is under the Upper intake manifold, if so , I do not see how this estimate is possible in that I feel it takes at least 20-25 minutes to properly disconnect everything and get the manifold off (I feel this because I took the manifold off for the manifold).
May someone please a few questions and for this I would be very helped and appreciative.
1. Is the Mitchell estimate correct? And am I doing anything wrong looking for the PCV valve location on there?
and 2. May you please tell me the location of the PCV valve?
Thank you for your time,
Jeff

Here are the instructions from Alldata. The labor time is about right.

Thank you for replying. When I did the tune up I shyed away from removing the accelerator cable because I didn't want to mess anything up. Can you tell me if the accelerator cable is difficult to remove from the throttle body? Judging from the labor time I started to assume it is not that difficult.
Thanks again Hammer Time,
Jeff

Most of the Fords just have a socket that snaps on to a ball. Nothing complicated.
