Default the PVC valve...

The PVC valve:

I bought me some CARB cleaner for other misc. use and it’s written on the back you can use it to clean the PVC valve. Anybody ever try it?

and, that valve is 13$ even with my 20% discount. I’ve been reading 2$ but it’s not. I don’t want to remove it, I just want to clean it. unless this dude put in the wrong part and thought I wanted that entire black box (I do not know the name)

It is $2 if you dont buy it from Honda. Any local parts store will carry them. Last time I got one, I bought a Fram and it was $3.29 in Canada.

you don't have to change your PCV valve at every oil change... if it rattles when you shake it is fine. If there is no rattle then i guess you can try to spray some carb cleaner in there but I think you are much better off just paying the couple of dollars to buy one from a parts store NOT FROM HONDA.
