Thanks but the 06 and newer are different.

While I will admit that I am not familiar with the '06 model, I'm guessing that it is sticking out of one of the valve covers. Have you looked for the PCV valve?

From www.brakeandfrontend.com. The article is located here: http://www.brakeandfrontend.com/issue/article.aspx?contentid=38742

Both, the 4.0L and the 4.6L use a PCM-controlled heated PCV valve. The PCV valve on the 4.0L SOHC engine is located in the back of the left valve cover, mounted horizontally, and is well hidden from view as it is sandwiched between the valve cover and the firewall.

Hopefully one of the 4th Gen guys will chime in soon.

Good luck getting it sorted.

It looks to be integrated into the left valve cover just behind the oil filler spout.

Removal and Installation 1. Disconnect the PCV valve electrical connector.
2. Disconnect the PCV valve hose.
3. NOTE: If the PCV valve is removed from the valve cover, a new PCV valve must be installed. Rotate the PCV valve counterclockwise and remove it from the valve cover.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure


Hopefully this will help you.

Nicely done east1la.

So that is where the heated PCV valve is... So what is the other ventilation valve on the other side that feeds into the intake I mentioned called?

Is it the oil breather valve?

No problem.

Do you mind posting a picture of item you talking about. I have a 2007 explorer. I don't know if mine is different from yours.

I found what it is called over at ford parts. I was thinking that the engine crankcase breather hose was the PCV because it looks to have a directional valve in it.
