2.4L 4Cyl Honda Accord PCV Valve Replacement

[@goldwatereli]

2006 Accord, 2.4L, 289k miles, took the old PCV out like you did-moved clip, pulled off the hose, used the wrench-very snug on there to get the old one free, and it looked about the same as yours. Then I put the replacement in hand tight. I used the same torque wrench. I found it was supposed to be at 33 lbs....like you had it. I was nervous, so I set it lower. Turned the bolt, heard a crunch and then the wrench had no tension. Yep, the PCV broke right in half! Now I have to get bolt/screw extractors to hopefully get this thing out. What the heck? I did the same thing you did, but I didn't need the extensions because I had the plenum off to change the starter. I don't get it. At least I know I was trying to do it correctly. ...and yes, I know my torque wrench works. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful.

You're about the 5th person I've seen online (Amazon reviews) that has tried to torque it to spec and sheared it off. I think something is wrong with that torque spec.

Same for me no way it’s 33ft-ibs. I broke a pvc valve

[@ivanresendiz6758]

You're supposed to tighten it by hand until it it stops turning. It's like tightening the oil drain plug. You dont need a torque wrench

[@nelsonsalcedo29]

I don’t have a torque wrench but everything else I do have my question is can I still change it without causing any issues without torque wrench thank you

I have seen some videos where they clean it using the TB cleaner, was that right?

[@MotorHead18]

yup, you could use throttle body cleaner as well!

[@andyz1157]

Thanks for video, easy do it. Does it require light oil lubrication, when new one is installed? What year is Honda Accord - 2007, 2008 or 2009? Do you recommend to replace it on 125K miles, as a part of maintenance?

[@MotorHead18]

It’s an 06, and should be included in your preventive maintenance schedule! I didn’t give it any lubrication

[@YoungShizzie]

So I have a p420 code and mine was leaking oil from the vvt solenoid in the back of engine got that replaced and the whole exhaust and my engine light is stil cming up

[@bobthrasher8226]

I don't see a reason to torque it accurately, its not like its holding anything down. It just needs to be snug enough to seal and not unscrew itself and rattle loose.

[@MotorHead18]

Yeah, absolutely. Though there are some torque jockeys out there!

[@TR1CKSHOTS31]

Man where did you get this for $5 ? Please I need a link or something. Part number brand anything. Every time I search it up it says $35 🥲 please give me information…. And how often do you change these?

[@MotorHead18]

napa if i remember correctly

[@JC-cm9bn]

Clean the old one with carb cleaner

[@mesutyagmur8121]

hello, is it possible to diagnose other than oil reduction?

[@MotorHead18]

misfires, lean or rich check engine light codes, high or rough idle, rough acceleration. Very variables though.

[@projectskadi935]

Do you need a washer when replacing this?

[@MotorHead18]

Just the valve

Just replaced mine, I used the same washer as the one on the oil drain plug washer. It didn’t look too bad and still rattled. Car has 160xxx miles

[@christianrambay9244]

Where does the other end go of the hose and can a PCV cause misfires when accelerating

[@MotorHead18]

No, I really don't think a shot PCV can cause misfires. My first thought would be spark plugs.

[@nateroeglin2198]

Do I need to drain oil first?

[@MotorHead18]

Nope

[@Scatpack23]

Mines on 171,000 and burns about half a quart a week gonna replace this and see if it reduces
