Thank you for posting this! Love your attitude. You don't have to be an expert to help others, and you've proven that with this video. I've been working on cars for years, and was struggling to find the pcv value on my civic, and here you are with all the info I needed to answer my questions. Keep being AWESOME!
Thanks very much for putting in the effort to make this video. Had the same problem with the valve being stuck, so I bought a wrecking tool as per example in the video. I'm very glad I watched this video as I have the exact same car. Keep it up, gorgeous!
Thanks! Very helpful video. I am having RPM issues and just learned that I can clean my IAC valve and that could help. While I’m at it I figured it wouldn’t hurt to replace my PCV valve. 92 Civic LX
Yes cleaning the idle air control valve should help with that or replacing it if it’s too bad off. I hope that solves the problem 😊 thanks for watching
Another winner. You are getting famous and a lot of people like myself would like to know more about you. We follow you, we're fans, we like your work but we don't know you and we'd like to get to know more. Thanks.
Any chance you have removed a breather box to clean it and then put it back? i have a 95 Del Sol Civic. The engine looks almost exactly like her engine... just want to know if I just bolt it back on or if I have to put a layer around the entire box of sealant? My side mechanic doesn't want to remove it because he thinks you have to put a sealant on it before putting it back. And i saw a video of a 2010 or so Honda where a guy did this. I am not sure if i have to though...At honda the parts guy says I don't havre to do that, just put the O Ring Seal on then tighten up the bolt / screw etc... so I don't know... ugh!
I know I ordered one online and got one from Autozone and they were different from each other I think it should work as long as it fits in place the same but you know…I’m not a Mechanic.
Thank you! I’m going to give this a shot and maybe clean out my EGR valve. I’ve got a rough idle when my engine is warm on a ‘95 with the D16Z6 motor. I’ve changed/flushed the coolant and filled it (low) and my system seems okay. Nice easy fixes!
@@MikeKollin Hi Mike! I never actually took out my breather box. Turns out I most likely just needed new wires + plugs, did the distributor cap too for good measure (tough screw!). I did however change the PCV and the old one seemed to be operable with some soot around it. I probably should check that breather box! I'd ask your question here anyhow; there's some smart people who can answer.
@@petah00 Yes, I replaced all of that... including pcv valve... the car is running strong, I mean really strong. Just cleaned the Map Sensor and Throttle body! Holy Shyt!! hahahaha... Lot more Power and immediate response and way way way better Gas Mileage... I bought the lower connector tube and all the parts to connect to the Breather Box so I figured why not clean out the Breather box... no worries. I did find 1 video where he at least shows the breather box from underneath the car. He took of some support thing and only 2 bolts to take it off. And just have to buy the O Ring to seal it, which I already have! Now just got to get it done! 🔥
Any chance you have a video on how to take off a Breather box? I have a 95 Del Sol S type. And I am not sure if you have to completely clean off the engine and breather box, then put a sealant material all the way around the entire box before putting it back onto the engine. Or if it' just a bolt to connect it back. There's no video's on this...
Unfortunately My Honda is in another state so I can’t put my eyes on it at the moment but from the research online I’ve done, it should unbolt from under the vehicle and there should be an o ring to seal it. I hope this helps
@@NotamechanicBetty Okay, Thanks... I am sure it's pretty easy. I found 1 video where he doesn't show but says he had to take off a supporting bracket to get to it... other than that it's 2 bolts... He has a civic. I have a del sol, ,so they are a little different. He has a 2nd PVC Valve connected to the Breather Box, which I've never seen. So I don't think I have a 2nd one. Either way, no worries and thanks!

A very good help! Thanks, Betty!
This really helped me out. I did not know about the shake test. Mine was completely clogged. Thanks!

Thanks you ,Betty.
Betty is the-girl-next door that guys my age ALWAYS had a crush on🙂. Really enjoy the honesty of yor vids. You go gorgeous!! 👍👍👍
Not just your age
Easy to get to from the top on the 95. Good job.👍

Question for all: How many mile can a 99 Civic engine last if it’s pretty well taken care of?
If you rub a little oil around the PCV it slides in a little better and seats all the way down. Those grommets get dry and brittle
Cool good to know thank you 😊
@@NotamechanicBetty You can still remove it and put some oil on it... and put it back if you haven't already...

Shout out Betty for the awesome video !!!
You're so funny 🙂 keep on!
Greetings from France
For my 95 civic autozone shows me a pcv valve that is straight. Bot at an angle like the original. Will it still work ? Any difference?
I know I ordered one online and got one from Autozone and they were different from each other I think it should work as long as it fits in place the same but you know…I’m not a Mechanic.
If it sounds like a mechanic and act's like a mechanic it's probably a mechanic. More of a mechanic than me.

I hope it works for you
Any chance you have removed your Breather box and cleaned it and put it back? I have a question about it!

P.s. Believe it or not but my engine, D15B7 does not have an EGR Valve. Just found out last night...
you're so sweet, love the video. thank you for the content :^)
Did you put a grommet on the hose?
Any chance you have a video on how to take off a Breather box?

Beautiful and independent woman .
PVC valve location differs by year and model.
😍😍😍😍
You literally are the whole 9 yards
With all do respect to your other half
You are gorgeous
Muy fácil el reemplazo.
Yes very easy
probably should have power washed the whole engine compartment be starting any maintenance on this vehicle
Yes to get a the dirt dobber nests out. And probably oil too. Makes it a lot easier to work with. Thanks for the comment.
Are you still with az?
No not anymore.
I like watching you but i wish you would vac the muddobers off your engine.
I was so concentrated on that pcv valve area I didn’t even notice until the video was done lol
Are you nervous ?
Hello miss betty
Good morning
