Replacing PCV valve in 95 Odyssey
Hi all,
This post follows up another one about excessive oil consumption in this car (now about 1qt per 1000 miles). Several people suggested that a stuck/clogged PCV valve would do this. So I thought I might just replace it to be sure. Is this simple/cheap to do myself? I am handy with tools but have not worked on this engine before. Where is this valve? (If the whole job is a pain, I will let the dealer check it out.) TIA, Chuck Connell 781-939-0505 (office) http://www.chc-3.com -- My home page (NOTE: I use a spam filter for inbound mail.

A good drawing of the PCV valve's location appears at
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...catdisplay.jsp Put in your truck's info, then select "BREATHER TUBE." Should be item 1 in the drawing and on the price list. Autozone under "component locations" says it's "Under hood, center, upper engine area, top of engine, mounted in valve cover." This one should be very easy to change. (Not so for all Honda models.) I suggest spending the few extra bucks for a new rubber grommet (item 4 in the drawing), too. All together, with OEM dealer parts, doing this yourself should cost no more than about $30. Maybe as low as $20. I'd only buy an OEM valve and grommet for this. Make sure everything is tight on re-assembly. Loose joints = vacuum leak = wrong information to the ECU = bad mileage, etc. "Chuck Connell" > wrote > Hi all, > > This post follows up another one about excessive oil consumption in this > car (now about 1qt per 1000 miles).

Its right on the top of the valve cover with a short thumb-sized hose running back from it to the intake manifold. To test it, gently pinch the hose with a pliers while the engine is running and listen for it to click. If is clicks when you pinch the hose, its good, if it doesn't its bad. |
