pcv valve wont work properly
put a new PCV valve in if it's bad.
Find the PCV valve towards the rear of the engine, and remove the PCV valve. Remove the rubber vacuum line, and discard the old Valve. Connect the vacuum line to the new valve and put the valve in its place.?æ
The PCV valve is located on the top of the valve cover. To test the PCV valve, start the engine, pull the valve out of the valve cover and put your thumb over the hole in the end. If you hear a little click, then the PCV valve is good. If there is no vacuum at the hole, either the valve is bad or the hose is bad. To see if the hose is bad, pull the hose off and put your thumb over the end. If there is vacuum, replace the PCV valve. If not, replace the hose. It's important to note that PCV valves are sized for specific engine applications. The wrong PCV valve for an application can flow too much or too little air causing driveability problems.
The PCV valve is located in the rocker cover (valve cover) Once you locate it pull up on the hose that is connected to it. Remove the PCV valve and put new one in. Reinstall in rocker cover.
You need to put a vent and a PCV valve in the valve covers.
The pcv valve is located behind the clip that holds the by-pass radiator hose below the intake manifold. This valve is in one of the poorest places they could have put it, very difficult to get to to change a $4.16 part. Once you find your pcv valve, good luck getting it out!
pull the pcv valve out of the vavle cover grommet, pull the hose off of it, put a new one in, put the hose back on, yay!!
start the car and pull the PCV valve out of the valve cover and put your finger over the end of it and see if you feel it sucking.
Right next to where you put in the oil (Gasket Cover)
put on a new PCV valve.
The PCV valve on the 99 galant is the piece of plastic shaped like and L on the top of the engine manifold. It has a piece of tubing going from the valve to the intake. You can easily just pull it out from manifold,take tubing off and replace with same PCV valve. then put everything back theway you found it.
The previous answer is somewhat ambiguous as to whether there is or isn't a PCV valve on a '97 Civic. I have a '97 5-speed Civic LX, and I just had a new PCV valve put in last week. There definitely is a PCV valve, but for this year/model, it is harder to find than on other years, where, apparently it is easily accessible at the top of the engine. Because of the location of the PCV valve in my Civic, I had to pay an extra $35 in labor for them to put it in. If in doubt, read your owner's manual! There is pcv valve on a '97 civic. The dealer schematics will tell you differently, but I've looked where the dealer schematics said it was and it wasn't. Don't waste your time looking for it cause it doesn't have one.
