Where is the pcv valve located on a Honda Pilot 2005?
The PCV valve on my 2005 Pilot is bolted horizontally into the side of the valve cover right next to where the oil dipstick is.
When pilot light goes out on a boiler is gas escaping?
No. The pilot valve is closed when no flame is sensed by the thermocouple.
How do you turn on a pilot light?
To turn on a pilot light, locate the gas valve and pilot light knob on the appliance. Turn the gas valve to the "pilot" position and press down on the pilot light knob while using a lighter or match to ignite the pilot flame. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit, then release the knob.
Why isn't the gas hot water pilot not lighting?
The pilot may not be lighting due to a problem with the gas supply, a faulty thermocouple, a clogged pilot tube, or a malfunctioning control valve. Check for gas supply, ensure the pilot area is clear of debris, and consider replacing the thermocouple if necessary.
What is wrong if you cannot get gas to your pilot light and you have already changed the electric control valve?
have you checked to see that gas is getting to the valve if it is the pilot could be stopped up pull it try to clean it soak in spray carb cleaner ect. blow out with compressed air or replace with new oneAnswerTake the tubing loose from the pilot assembly and depress the pilot valve on the gas valve to see if gas is getting to the assembly. If it is, you have a clogged pilot orifice; take a thin piece of wire and clean it out. If you have no gas getting to the orifice, you still have a bad gas valve or your gas is not turned on.
How do I relight the pilot light on my Whirlpool oven?
To relight the pilot light on your Whirlpool oven, locate the pilot light assembly near the burner. Turn the gas valve to the "off" position and wait for the gas to dissipate. Then, turn the gas valve to the "pilot" position and press the ignition button to light the pilot. Hold the button for a few seconds to ensure the pilot stays lit. Finally, turn the gas valve back to the "on" position and test the oven to ensure it is working properly.
Why is it necessary to have a pilot safety shutoff on a gas furnace?
so when the pilot goes out the gas valve is shut off
What causes a gas hot water pilot lite to go out?
No, that is part of the function of the pilot light. To light the burner and to keep the gas valve open. The thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot and produces a small electrical current that keep the gas valve open. When the tank cools down, the thermostat opens the valve to the burner so that it can light. When the pilot goes out, it is usually the thermocouple that is bad.
Replaced the pilot generator on a Laars lite and it generates 670 to 700 millivolts however pilot won't stay lit when releaseing the valve Is it a bad gas valve Is it worth the money to replace?
Assuming you are getting that measurement at the valve would indicate a strong pilot generator and if the valve still will not open then I would pronounce the gas valve DOA. To replace the valve cost can vary from $350 to $650 depending on the Contractor due keep in mind that you've replaced the Pilot Generator and now a valve to finsh the job right install a new Pilot Body with the correct orifice and that will round out a reliable system.

How does a thermocouple pilot light work in a gas appliance?
A thermocouple pilot light works by generating a small electric current when heated by the pilot flame in a gas appliance. This current keeps a valve open to allow gas to flow, maintaining the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple cools down, causing the valve to close and prevent gas leaks.
Pilot light is on but flames wont light when you turn up the thermostat?
This question is not specific enough for a good answer. What is the appliance? A furnace? A cooktop burner? An oven? The first thing to check would be the igniter, which is what typically "lights" the gas coming from the valve. You can check an igniter with a simple continuity test using a test meter. If the pilot is lit, then there is no igniter, or the igniter lites the pilot, so if the pilot is lit how could it be the igniter. Bad thermocouple, this tells the gas valve that the pilot light is lit, if the gas valve does not know the pilot is lit it will not allow gas to come out of the valve, this is a safety feature so your unit does not blow up.
What if you changed the gas control valve and the electronic ignition on the water heater and the pilot still goes out after awhile?
The thermocouple is usually the first thing to change. It controls the valve and the spark ignition is just to light the pilot.
