Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Acura Integra, 2000 Acura 3.5RL, and 2000 Acura 3.2TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Ensure crankcase ventilation hoses and connections are not clogged and no leaks exist. Start engine. With engine at idle, pinch and release PCV hose. PCV valve should click. If PCV valve does not click, check PCV valve grommet for cracks or damage. Ensure manifold vacuum exists at valve. If manifold vacuum exists and grommet is okay, replace PCV valve and recheck. If manifold vacuum does not exist, check for restricted vacuum port or PCV hose.
