Does anyone know if the 3VZE (3.0L V6)engine on the T100 has a PCV valve? If it does do you know where it is located? The haynes manual does not mention one for the 3.0L, and I have been unable to locate it. Thanks

The rain let up, so I went out and looked at mine (it is a '94, but I think the same as yours). The PCV valve is in the right side valve cover, near the rear of the engine. It is in about the most inconvenient location possible, under the intake manifold. As you have probably already noticed, there is a hose coming from the left valve cover, connecting to the air intake, without a valve. I wonder what the PCV does, since this other hose seems to effectively bypass it.
