Question
Where is the PVC valve located on a 2000 Chevy Impala with a 3.8l V-6?
Michael,
Your PCV Valve should be located in the valve cover. I have gone to the Delco web site and copied the photo of the valve you are looking for. I hope it will come into this venue. Here we go...
No it will not let me paste the picture in. Damn... It is in the valve cover and it has a hose, about 5/8" OD going to it. The hose runs up to the base of the air intake on top if the manifold. Some might call it the throttle body. The hose will attach at the bottom close to the intake manifold.
I wish I could get the photo to come into this but it looks exactly like a PCV valve on a 1970 Chevy with a 250 engine. I know it is different but if you go to your local parts store, you can look at that and see what you are looking for.
I hope this helps.. Good luck

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
