Something missing from my engine - Honda Prelude Forum

ludethugs · 07-18-2002, 12:50 AM

Popped the hood open and i noticed this part of the engine missing. I thought it was just an engine valve cover screw but when i peek into the hole i can see the inside of the engine... i've been running like this for a while now.

Anyone know what this affects? And where i can get a replacement if it's really missing? thanks.

That thing you circle is called the PCV Valve.... Pretty cheap to get. With that out you should be having some idling problems already. I don't know what the cost is.

I think its like less than $5

Go to pepbys or autozone or someplace like that and get a crankcase filter. It looks like a super small filter for your intake.
Put that on your valve cover and cap off the vacumm hole with a small plug. The same store should have em. 15 or 20 bucks for everthing......

ya, thats the PCV valve, cheap part, you're lookin at 3 bucks at your local parts store, and install it yourself, don't let anyone else do it, its very easy... all u need is a pair of pliars.

i'ma gonna go at pepboys and see what i can do to get this fixed...

i did notice some idling problems, but only when the A/C is on and whenever i go from a stop... the engine hesitates, but other than that it seems to be okay.

so its okay to just cover this and not actually connect it like the one pictured above?

its better to hook it up like in the picture that way all the gases in there get circulated out
