The PCV connects right to the intake manifold.

glad u found the vss! that is where its located on my 92. on your pic of the vss on another thread its on there. mine vss looks different from yours. the plug can be a pain to remove if its never been removed. dont forget the pin position when u replace it. since the pin faces the ground when u put the new sensor on. dont forget to put the plug back on. just mentioning that since some people forget and think the new vss isnt working. glad u found the pcv valve. easy location. good luck with your repairs.

...which is part of the intake system. It doesn't matter where you suck it in.

as well as another half can in the gas tank after topping it off with some premium.
Don't bother with premium, it'll be a waste of money and you'll lose performance. You have nothing in your engine that would indicate that the timing or A/F ratio would be changed if premium fuel were added.

appears to be a nut driver or a small socket wrench...just noticed that none of my pics show it, but it resembles the head of the screws holding the top to my air filter on.

Hmmm. I guess I'll just have to look at it and see what fits. I wish it wasn't so painstakingly hard to reach though.

well if you don't get to it by Friday, I should be able to tell you what size (mine) is...that's when the VSS i ordered online arrives !!!!!!

which gets me to thinking...does the computer use the speedsensor for anything other than the speedometer/odometer/cruise control?
