1. Locate the PVC valve. It is typically located on the engine, near the throttle body or intake manifold.
2. Disconnect the battery. This is important to ensure safety while working on the vehicle.
3. Remove the PVC valve hose. The PVC valve hose is connected to the engine with a clamp. Use a screwdriver or pliers to loosen the clamp and remove the hose.
