The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve is part of moves made in the early 1980's (in Europe, earlier in the States) to limit crankcase emissions to atmosphere by arranging for them to be channeled into the engine intake so environmentally damaging oil mists and vapours are burned in the engine.

The pcv valve is a common method, but not the only method of achieving the aims. One end of the valve is usually connected to the engine, usually at the top on the safe side of the internal flame trap (cam cover, rocker cover) and the other side of the valve is usually connected to the intake manifold via a suitable hose.
The valve might be threaded and screwed in, a press fit into a plain hole or retained with a rubber grommet.

Does a 1996 mercury sable and 2001 ford taurus have the same engine

Its possible. In this time span Ford used two different motors, the overhead valve (OHV) Vulcan V6, and the Duratec 24V V6, which will bear the 24v DOHC badge on the front fender.

Im trying to replace the lower radiator hose and i was wonder if when it goes to the thermostat housing if it goes to the top or bottom opening the car is a 2000 ford taurus with a 24 valve dohc 3.0 L...

The lower radiator hose is usually connected to the water pump. It's purpose is to draw coolant from the bottom of the radiator and circulate it through the engine and heater. a word of caution, even if you drain the radiator when you loosen the hose there will be a sizeable amount of coolant flowing from that point. Keep a pan handy!!!

Replace PCV valve 2001 taurus duratec engline rough idling when engine is cold. Engine will stop when vehicle is stopped at an intrersection. After driving for 30 plus minutes the car idles fine. Air leak?...

I dont think it is the PCV but its a good idea to replace the PCV at least once a year either way, and its very cheap, usually $2-$5 at autozone.

PCV Valve location diagram.....

  I will assume you you have the Duratec engine (24 valve). It is located under the intake manifold on the transmission side of the engine. Real tough to get out without some real long pliers with a ring type end on it. It needs to be twisted counterclockwise to release it. replace the hose to it while you are there also , they degrade and will cause a vacuum leak.
