88 PGMFI accessing PCV tube at crankcase?
I disconnected the PCV Valve tube from the PCV Valve and cannot detect
any air flow so I think the tube may be blocked. Does this sound reasonable? I want to clean the tube by removing it and knocking any debris out of it but I can't unfasten the tube from the crankcase. By sliding my hand under the (I don't know what they're called but the silver branches coming from the fuel injector to the crankcase) I can just barely touch the fastener with a finger after I remove some other tube/wire mounts. The fastener looks like a band of steal 3/8ths wide and I can feel two prongs(one thin and one wide) on the underside of the fastener about 1/4 inch apart. Can someone please tell me how to access and remove this item? thanks a lot Eric |

You should NOT be touching your vehicle in this manner. It seems you have NO idea what you're doing. How do you know there's anything wrong, anyway? -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Too bad I don't have a digital camera. any suggestions? thanks Eric PS: the valve itself looks like this, http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/live/B204045532NOV.JPG Oh yeah, I'm puffing smoke badly so trying to fix that before aircare. thanks very much for your help and concern. now lets get this fixed! lol.

Does it rattle? If not, or if it hasn't been replaced in roughly the last 60K miles, install a new one and see if that helps your smoking problem. Some other Eric |
