I had a question about this nipple right here. I don't have the correct terminology for what it's called, where it goes, and what it does, but I know it a vacuum line that runs down into that black box behind the engine:



An old friend of mine was able to ignore this vacuum hose, and plugged the black box behind the engine. He explained everything to me how he did it, but it was so long ago, I forgot how it went. Can anyone explain to me what this vacuum hose does, and how to eliminate it? His story had something about emissions or something.


CHEAP SHOT! and while you're browsing my thread, can you confirm that I have my vacuum lines correct. LOL! THANKS!







yes, I know, messy lines, I'll have everything cleaned up and ready to go once I have my baby running correctly. Sorry if the pics are blurry. My phone doesn't take good pics at night.

 

that middle one should go to the pcv

That goes to your PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation) which then leads to the "black box" on the back of your block, It is mainly for emissions but I don't reccomend removing it, just put it back to factory and be done with it.

 

some quick *** responses! Thanks guys, does anyone have the story on how you would eliminate this line? I'm just curious to how my friend did it.

 

Just plug the vaccum port on the manifold and plug the top of the box on the back of the block, simple

 

I tried plugging the nipple on the manifold, and when I start the car, it dies out. do both need to be plugged simultaneously?

bad news, the nozzles that connect the hoses (one on the box, and one between the manifold) are broken when I tried to take them off. Anyone got any ideas for a ghetto rig nozzle set up? damn! I'm desperate to drive this car again! this is the final step before I can get it running properly and back on the road again

 

I am not suprised it does not run like that but I never messed with removing it and leaving it off.

You should be able to order the parts pretty cheap from Honda, it's just a PCV valve, the hose that runs from the Manifold nipple to the valve, and then the base that the PCV valve sits in that then runs to the black box. You probably will have a hard time find this stuff in good condition used and again it can't be that much new so just hit up Honda first thing Monday morning

 

that would be the best and the wisest decision; and not rush things, even though I'd want this running by tonight. I might even hit up parts department tomorrow (I think they're open...I forget, and I used to work there) so yeah, definitely get this running very soon.

Thanks again for all the help

 

 

Just in case anyone else needs to do the same thing as me, I checked the parts on:

For 2000 Civic Si, it's under "Breather Chamber", FYI

I hope someone finds this useful.

 

if you want to get rid of the pcv, plug the nipple on the manifold and leave the black box vented. It will run fine

Did that last night. It didn't work.

 

I'm pretty pissed rite now. Spent about $60 bucks on stupid little fancy *** Honda OEM parts, and shiet still don't work. bogs and dies out immediately at start. Can anyone confirm my vacuum lines, please? Thanks in advance. I've read the B16 vacuum diagram thread "https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=404493&page=1" but pics are gone, and I've tried every (if not, most) combination described by each member.

 

bump!

 

vacuum lines are a bitch. please confirm above...did I have to T any lines off? some one please tell me that much.
