CRAP!!!!!!!! I tried this and half the valve stood stuck in the black box so i tried to get it out and it broke into pieces and fell in the box. What do I do?! Can i just install the new one and keep driving?
I hate to bring this old thread up again, but I'm having major major problems with this. My pcv valve snapped in half and now the one half is stuck in the black box with no parts of it hanging out to grab on to or anything. What the hell should I do, I've been trying to get it out for over 3 hours now. Seriously, I don't know what to do.
I feel your pain.
A 15 min job took like 3 hrs. If it got stuck in there it is because the plastic is rotted. My car had the original valve from manufacture. That one 155000 miles ago. It was so old and cemented to the rubber on the hole that I wound up getting a good pair of needle nose pliers. and picking out the pieced from the hole. So I feel your pain. To anyone reading this. Replace it now!! It will save you alot of headache in the future...
96 Civic PCV valve change.
Thanks for your great pics and instructions. Following your instructions and pictures, I managed to change my PCV valve in 20 minutes. Not only does my 96 civic idles smoothly now but the gas mileage just went through the roof.
Thanks again, maybe you should write an instruction manual!

oh and i talked to a honda guy and he said that black box is self contained (does not lead to crank case/vital internals) and it IS okay to just put your NEW valve in. (even tho there are some pieces of the old one) just make sure you can get your new valve in there properly and try to get as much of the broken one out as possible.
Did this on my d16y7 today.. you can deff do it from up top easily by dismounting the bracket on the intake manifold that holds the throttile cable right before the throttle body.. also remove the throttle cble from the the throttle body. This leaves you a nice empty gap between the runners of the intake manifold to get your hand in and maneuver.
hey guys. I just did this on my car and i have the same problems like other people here. The rock hard grommet is inside the black box. I was wonder if there was a way to get into the black box? remove the entire manifold? btw. MAN, pcv valve sure makes a major difference. it would be even better if i remove that grommet.
