Where is the PCV on a 89 Civic DX? Thanks

 

the right on the valve cover. line going from it to intake tubing. there is also a pcv valve ontop of the evaorative canister. its on the firewall under and to the right of the intake manifold. NOT the charcoal canister all the way left on the firewall. its inbetween that and the intake manifold right by fuel filter.

 

Look at your motor head on. Look at the intake manifold. Look in between cylinder number 2 and 3. a hose should be running to IT! TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!

 

hmm.....I looked and didnt see one. Ill look again whejn I get the car back.

 

yeh i'm looking for mine too, and i cant find it.

 

Thats where it is. Its not plastic is metal and it screw into the manifold.

 

The store gave me a plastice PVC valve thing.

 

ttt....

 

It doesn't "screw in" it pulls straight out and drops straight in.

 

On the MPFI it does pops in its 2parts but with the DX/STDs it screws in. Its brass and threaded.....It comes straight out of the #2 runner straight into the Catch can (or whatever it is)in the back of the block

 

I saw the brass piece. the lady whos car it is went and got a PC valve and they gave me one that looked like it would work on a b-series. She is gonna go to honda and get an OEM one.

 

Thanks would of never found it been searching online for hours.
mine has a black vacuum hose connected to a hard line leading to intake. Is it supposed too. Sorry for the extremely old bump.

 

Here's a pretty picture

 

what is the canister that the hose runs to called? Can those get clogged or cause excess pressure some how? I still have a lot of pressure built up.

 

It is a Breather Chamber - yes they can get clogged up. I had to run solvent through mine when rebuilding the engine to get a bunch of gunk out.

Its held onto the block with two bolts. Replace the o-ring.
