where can i find the pcv valve to replace, i looked all over and can't find it. i took out the tube to the airfilter but can't find in in that area. i'm not good with cars so explain in simple english where i can find the pcv valve and what is it use for. Do i need to change it, i never changed it still i got it brandnew and not it has about 280,000km on it.

What engine?
On the D16A6 engine, the PCV valve is between intake runners #1 and #2

This may not be much help but I just changed this on my son's 85 CRX and it
was hard to see and hard to do (I guess that is why they do not get changed
as often as recommended). It was on the intake side but lower down in the
middle of the block look for a hose that plugs into valve which is vertical
right in the middle of the block area. Which I could give you more a
picture. The valve is just set in rubber and can be wiggled so poke around
and see if one of the hoses lets you deflect it. wolf

Try Majestic Honda's site. They have good illustrations if you can figure
out their menus. This link to one might be what you're looking for:

it is below the intake runners 1 and 2, what it does is let gasses out
of the crank case and should be replaced fro emmissions purposes, basic
rule of thumb is that if it does not rattle it should be cleaned or
replaced (replace:they're cheep)
