I searched everywhere...

I found one diagram, but i dont understand it, and i still can't find it.

can someone post up a picture of the actual engine and location of the PCV Valve?

I found pics for Accords, cRX, but no Civics

Thanks

I would start off by looking at the intake manifold .

 

hello

it is under the intake manifold,which you would need to go under the car and replace it

Well I don't know about that. On EG's they are on top of the intake manifold close to the valve cover. I can't see why they would put it underneath on the 99.

 

Why don't you just get underneath and look up above the oil filter - it IS underneath the manifold.

 

Correct its under the intake mani.

When you change the oil is the best time to do it. Take off the oil filter and there is a black box just above it. Plugged into the black box is the PCV valve with attached hose. You can pop it out carefully with a screwdriver. Then crawl out from underneath your car (safely supported with jackstands) and pull the hose that the PCV is attached to from between your intake runners and pop in the new valve. Crawl back under and put it in the black box. Finish oil change.

 

It took me and my friend about 20 minutes to find it on his EX. I couldn't believe they started putting those things underneath the intake manifold. They are hard enough to get out when there on top. Good thing he had small hands and could get the stupid thing out of the oil separator can though. I couldn't even get my hand in there far enough to get a thumb on it.

 

well, they're not exactly an everyday maintainance kinda thing, so it makes sense to put them outta the way.

 

damn, that's a pain.

so if i want to replace it, do i just pull it off?

anything special i gotta do?
