Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2007Civic SI PCV valve
I have a 1999 Civic SI. I`m in the midst of doing a tune up. All`s going well until i come to change my PCV valve. where the hell is this thing??? It is certainly not in plain view. I`ve even gotten under the car. There is a tube going through a square cutout on the intake manifold that vanishes into oblivion below. Please dont say its at the end of this tube.??? I cant even get my hand on it let alone a tool. Help. A pic would be great cheers Mark Item 6 at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&cat cgry1=Civic&catcgry2=1999&catcgry3=2DR+SI&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=BREATHER+CHAMB ER++%283%29+%28DOHC+VTEC%29 > Item 6 athttp://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?input... Yeah i`ve seen that diagram before , but cant make a clean distinction as to exact location on the block. Hard to see exact location of where hoses plug in to get a bearing >> Item 6 >> athttp://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inpu [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > as to exact location on the block. > Hard to see exact location of where hoses plug in to get a bearing Try here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/pcv-replace/index.html#replace This might lead you to yours.

How do you figure that? The B18 as installed in the '94 and up Integra has the PCV valve in the valve cover. Our Toyota Tercel is the same way.

Our Toyota Tercel is the same way. ok, you /can/ have blow-by extraction from the top, not bottom, but since it's /coming/ from the bottom in the first place, and it's best not to have excessive opportunity to dump condensates, extracting at source is the ideal solution. |
