Ok, I need to replace the pcv valve on my 94 RS. Unfortunately, I don' t have a helms yet . But it needs to be done pretty soon, my car is drinking oil.

Anyways....I can't seem to locate the little booger. I know its in the general vicinity of the intake manifold, but I don't know exactly where or what to look for. Also, should I fork over the cash for an oem valve from the dealership, or just get a cheapy from autozone?

Last question, are they pretty easy to replace? I don't see how it could be very hard, but I haven't done it before so....

TIA,
SupaTeg

 

it's underneath the intake manifold on the head of the car. it seats into the head and the tube it hooks up to points towards the firewall initially. it can be seen by standing on the passenger side of the engine bay. it's pretty easy to get it out of the bottom seat...but the tube it's connected to has a death grip on the little bugger.

 

Pull this hose off of the valve cover. It will be an "L" shape plastic piece. Detach the hose clamp. Should take about 1-2 minutes to replace.

 

no clue what animated_life is talking about, but Migs is right. just that lil plastic thingy thats circled. shouldnt even take more then a minute

 

the PCV Valve on the B18B (RS, LS, GS, SE, etc) is much easier than on the GSR.. migs is right for the RS in question.. animated is right for the GSR...

 

Ok question,

Someone mentioned the LS does have a PCV but I have never been able to find it. If I may ask, where is it? If you know where it is, may you please point it out or a pic?


Thanks

 

That's a newer gen LS valve cover, the older LS's (94-95 ??) don't look like that, or have the PCV valve in that location.

So then where is the PCV for a 94-95 LS?
Is there even one?

 

there is one. Its on the intake manifold. Its down on the runners close to the engine itself. same shape.....maybe be tan or even red.

 

yeah, my car doesn't have pcv valve in the location of that picture.....I have the old 'lego' valve cover.

So if its not there, its under the intake manifold?

 

Maybe if you clicked on the link i left...you would see where it is.

 

eh... I checked the link you left but its hard to see, no key or anything so doesn't help that much. I am assuming its #7 but not sure.
I checked my engine and can't seem to find either.

 

same question here.

Bump for ya!

good thread

 

here is the pcv valve on my 95 gsr not sure if its the same on an LS though

The PCV valve is on the intake manifold. folow the vacume hose from the top of the manifold and it will lead u right next to the head where is is located at. it is on the back side of the head.

 

Yes just follow the vacuum line, you cant miss it. I have a 95 LS in my hatch and I have replaced it a few times. You can get a replacement one from autozone or wherever. I have used a autozone one and a OEM honda one, both worked the same. Its very very simple to install. Basicaly yank the old on out, disconnect the vacuum line, then do the reverse with the new PCV valve. The one pictured in this thread is from a obd-2 96 up LS, where the PCV is located on the valve cover. Even easier to change! Good luck

 

ragejed, sorry dude, I did click the link. But its still kinda hard to tell from that website.

Those last few pics are exactly what I needed, thx to all who contributed

 

he is talking about the PCV for a GSR. Its different.

 

buy the OEM part

My pep boyz part makes a awful noise when I shut off the engine its the culprit

 

Yeah... OEM is the way to go. i bought stuff from Autozone and it really messed up my car.

 

i have a 95RS can u take a picture when u replace yours?

also how do u know if you need to replace it??!?!

ive never done mine and i'm at 121K
