6th Gen ('00-'05): Random misfire and hard start
If you know were the MAP sensor is, the PCV valve is under it. When you remove the MAP, the bracket that holds it in also twist out like a headlight. But a little harder to move. Once removed the PCV valve is accessible. There is a spring under it that is re-usable. There is also an O-Ring. The new valve has a new ring.
The MAP and PCV sit on the right side of the intake Plenum, facing the car, above the belt. I don't have a pick. But I just put "location 02 Monte Carlo SS PCV. Valve" in my search engine image section. That's how I found it!

On mine the pcv valve is right on top but it has riveted bracket so you can't remove it. I googled about this and it said that it was only put on the 2005 and its there so you can't put an aftermarket one one. Could I just cut off the bracket?
I January have to say, I don't know. I would assume you can and then put a new rivet in. But that's an assumption.
Hopefully a member with an 05 or experience with one will chime in and help out! Sorry!

The car is fixed 
I cleaned the EGR valve and now its starting and running perfectly. Thank you all for all your help and suggstions; we managed to fix it without spending much and only changing things that should be done anyways.
I hope this will help others in the future
