BUT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND THIS HELPFUL

oh hey, very cool.

Do you happen to know what the PCV valve do or used for?

i dunno if you were being sarcastic or not but if you dont actually know or for anyone who doesnt, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual evacuation of gases from inside a (gasoline internal combustion) engine's crankcase.

I know they're only a couple bucks but before you replace it, try taking yours off and squirting both ends with carb cleaner while shaking it. If you can hear the metal ball inside clicking hard then you're good.

And beforehand to test if its bad you pinch the hose with some pliers (cover the hose with a rag if your pliers are sharp) and listen for it clicking.

If your PCV is clogged or restricted, pressure builds up in the crankcase and forces oil out where you don't want it. It also chokes your engine power at high RPM. Everyone run out and buy one!

if your pcv is bad... besides the oil.... could it affect idle in any way? or just make it build up pressure

I've never had it go that bad. But on this generation Honda EVERYTHING affects idle, so...

No, but if you come up with an avatar as good as Mayhem_Audio's, then you'd get my vote.

Oh god, I was at Orlando Intl. around Christmas and some lady did the same thing, but on a crowded down escalator. Just sort of sat down and everyone behind her started to pile up. Funniest thing I saw down there.

First, thanks for the DIY. Its really simple but im a noob. I still enjoy fixing/ replacing anything that'll benefit my car.lol

I noticed when I did this that the tube that connects the pvc to the intake was squeezed and contracted. What i mean is it looked like it was pinched quite a bit. Will that drastically affect anything? Should I buy another one? Thanks in advance
