Yeah leave the valve on. I just took the seafoam and poured it into a cup. Its easyer to suck it out of a cup. Just make sure you have one free hand to keep the engine running.

theres one over by the alternator you have to remove the black rubber cover, and put a short piece of vacuum hose on it.

Don't know what engine you have but if its the 2.4L its a lot easier to just pour it in the throttle body.

Do you disconnect the hose from the PCV valve, or just pull the PCV valve itself?
Thanks for the info!!  |

Just pull the PCV valve out of the valve cover. Leave the PCV valve on the hose or it will run like shit. You can also just turn the PCV valve upside down, it turns on the hose, and pour it in that way.

Speaking for myself I know how to do it I've done it several times, but it was hard to get someone to answer my question back when I first wanted to do this to my car. Finally I just researched and did it myself.
