pvc valve hose

[ap716]

so, after i got my valve gasket and spark plugs changed i did the pvc valve and hose b/c they were pretty old. well my question is the hose is being suctioned by the pvc valve and after the car is turned off the hose returns to normal. should i get a new valve and grommet?

Looks ok unless your leaking around the grommet.

[ap716]

so its suppose to be suctioned like that? i dont feel any air around the grommet just saw a little oil and wiped it off. also, i dont really hear a click when i pinch the middle of the pvc hose.

[NAiL05]

pinching the hose isnt gonna do much unless your hose is soft as hell. Pull the pcv valve and shake it. All it is is a spring/ball in there basically. You hear it rattle your fine.

maybe don't use vaccume hose.
doesn't oil go through there ??

use the braided hose with the string inside to re-enforce it.

pcv is used to help relieve crancase pressure at idle and under high vacuum. also allows oil vapors to mix with air to be burned off rather than venting them to the atmosphere. the hose should not be sucking itself together and should be maintaining it shape. sounds like you have a stuck valve thats not allowing the vaccuum to enter the valve cover.

weird thing is the grommet seemed closed when i replaced the pvc valve is it suppose to be closed? ill probably get a new valve and grommet from honda tommrw its pretty affordable to replace. thanks guys

Put It In Ur Mouth And Blow It

Also That Hose Looks Pretty Cheap

Remeber The Pcv Is Also A One-way Check Valve, It Will Only Let Air Go Trough One Way

You need a better hose. No hose in the engine bay should collapse like that.

That thing is fucked up.....First and foremost, go to a HONDA dealership and get a genuine honda hose from them. Do not go to your local parts dealer to get a cheap chinese piece of shit hose. Second, check your pcv valve itself; Remove the pcv valve from the valve cover with the hose still attached....then with engine running at idle, put your index finger over the pcv valve and check that there is suction. You should also feel the valve inside move into and out of position when you stop the suction with your finger. Then remove it from the hose and shake it. If it doesn't rattle then replace. While your at the dealership you might want to get a new pcv valve from them too; especially if it hasn't been replaced in awhile. Also, do not buy a pcv valve from a local parts dealer either; there is a HUGE difference!

Mine did that right before I had a long distance show, so I just replaced it with some thick fuel hose that I had on a roll, and on I went. Never had a problem and looks better that the faded hose that was on there.

[turbo90accord]

yea There is nothing wrong with using large fuel line. Its reinforced so the chances of it collapsing are slim to non. dont waist money on a 12 dollar hose at honda when you can replicated it with something better for 1.99!

I disagree; only because something is wrong with it presently. It should not do that under normal conditions with a normal sized quality hose. You should never have to put on a stronger hose just to keep it from collapsing.

The hose is just worn out... Shit happens. Just replace the hose with another and your set.
