I am having trouble finding the pcv valve on a Kia sportage 1998

It may not use a PCV valve. It could be a fixed orifice that requires no replacement.

They are a sensor near the catalitic close to fhe muffler good luck

Do you have the owners manual? The location should be listed in it under the service section. If not I'd call the local Kia dealer service dept and ask the service advisor.

pcv valve could be faulty.

P0171 HYUNDAI - System Too Lean Bank 1

Possible causes- Intake air leaks
- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection

why do you need to no did the timing belt jump and damage the valves if so you can send it to a auto parts that rebuild heads or motors and they can check it for cracks or other damage as well you can maybe find a used one from scrap yard instead of spending the big money in the head or if you want check the price of a new one from dealer or jobber company and find out if the valves are in sometimes they send heads empty and it costs extra

The radiator thermostat may be stuck. I've had that before. Just about any auto part store should have an employee that can help if you need it. Its a quick and easy fix/replacement. You'll definitely want to check your radiator coolant level as well.
