On a 2.0 dohc motor it's on the front of block near the water outlet. Check the hose that goes to the intake manifold for leaks and collapsing while running that connects to the pcv
You didn't mention what engine you have. If it is
the 1.8 litre DOHC engine, it is in the valve cover.
Here is the location on the 1.9 liter SOHC engine.
Replacing it is just a matter of popping the old one out and
the new one in.
http://www.focushacks.com/images/pcv.jpg Here's a picture to locate it.. So, when looking at the engine from above, on the right of the exhaust. Procedure to replace it 1) Lift and support the front end of your car, or drive up on ramps 2) Get under the front of your car. The PCV Valve is located behind the exhaust manifold, a few inches below the valve cover. 3) Push up on the PCV valve to pop it out of the tube, or pull. You can get it out of the rubber tube with some effort. 4) Remove the rubber elbow from the top of the PCV valve. This can be re-used if it's not squishy. It can also be replaced cheaply. 5) Put the elbow on the new PCV Valve 6) Re-attach the elbow to the PCV tube 7) Push the new PCV valve back down into the large rubber tube
Easiest way to find the PCV on a 2000 ZX3 (ZTEC engine)is to stand directly in front of the engine and look at the right side of the oil filler cap. From there, approx 10 inches directly below the the right side of the cap, you will see a black rubber hose/tube (3/4 inches)inserted into a rubber grommet--the PCV valve!! If you were to follow the hose/tube back through the emission components, you would find it connects to the lower rear of the throttle body.
