Where is the PCV valve?
#5
The hose you call a PVC hose is a fresh air (filtered) supply to the crankcase. The crankcase vapors leave through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice in the cylinder head directly into the intake manifold. If abnormal conditions occur, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow by gasses to back flow through the vent hose into the intake system to be burned in normal combustion.
This system is the same for both the 2.2L and the 2.4L engines.

Burning oil ill
Oh that's tea bag........If she burns dry, Lulabelle won't chooch! I need to get to the bottom of this mystery. Strike two, I'm getting more questions than answers. M. Night Shamalan wood be confused at this point. Have you seen Alien? Not good, I'm having flash backs. But it's much worse. Rather than a bloody monster jutting out the hood, she'll suffer a dry rod. She went like that at tal..... What girl would?
Please help. My dad has gone on to his reward, hopefully in grease monkey heaven.

It's really no mystery. Your engine has 200,000 miles on it, there is some wear expected.
Was the car run hard? Were the oil changes done as required, with a quality oil? Was it driven in dusty or stop and go conditions?
How badly is it burning oil? More than a quart in 1,000 miles? If you check the oil regularly, there is no reason why it would run dry. You may want to research oil additives.

Tractorsmith, lets keep your posts regarding the oil issue to this thread - posting related questions and info in different threads is counter-productive. The other thread has been closed.
