The PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Valve? Or the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve. :>D
The PCV valve in a 2011 Chevy Equinox can be found on the back of the engine at the valve cover, it is pretty close to the firewall in this engine compartment. The valve is there to help control and regulate the emissions from Your engine.
There is a federal warranty of 5 years on all catalytic converters. It should not cost you anything to have it replaced. You stated that it was a 2007 and then a 2011, which year is it? If it is a 2007, you are almost outside of the federal warranty.
First, I think it highly unlikely that a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox would be due for spark plugs yet. They only have to be changed every 100,000 miles.
Second, you could spend the rest of your life trying to change the spark plug wires on that vehicle and never accomplish it. 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is not equipped with spark plug wires.
Then, if the spark plugs were somehow in need of replacement at this time, I highly recommend that you do not try this at home unless you have access to compressed air to clean the debris out of the spark plug tubes. Otherwise, severe engine damage can occur. (I have replaced many cylinder heads because of DIYers attempting to change their own spark plugs without the proper methods and equipment.)
With all that said, you must remove the ignition coils to get to the spark plugs.
I would bring it back to your dealer
you should be covered.
and if it has to do with any emissions problem or and thing to effect emission all cars have extendedwarranties by law.
