Its a CCV system not a PCV system.. There is no traditional PCV valve like you are looking for.

The only thing missing is a tube from the valve cover where the breather is at. The tube runs to the place on the right where all the vacuum lines go together. The 1/2 tube that comes from the airbox joins the one from the valve cover

I see. What's with the vacuum lines? On my 94, the hose from the valve cover just goes right to the intake. But that does not seem to be the same on the 90. Do you have a picture of how it should be all set up?

So it comes out of the valve cover and goes right to the airbox? It really does not have to go thought that junktion where all the vacuum hoses are, right?

That's wrong.....

The small rear line goes to the intake.. the front one goes to the airbox.

I will try and get a picture of my 90 for reference. I have a tube intake though so its slightly different.

I want to know why in the Rushin Picture, the pcv hose looks different than this diagram. My cherokee have an air suction in the same place or near pcv valve and i dont know where the line must go... .
