pcv valve is on the valve cover and egr is on the intake manifold...

cleaning will likely only damage them. if they're faulty, they need to be replaced. pcv is cheap, egr is a couple hundred bucks. why do you think they need cleaning?

Your PCV Valve is either near the rear of your valve cover or against your engine block accessible from the bottom.http://www.hondacivicrepairs.com/pcv...0Civic&id=25If it is on top, it should be easy to spot as you'll find a small hose connected to the PCV valve leading to your intake manifold housing. Otherwise, you'll find the small hose from your intake manifold housing leading to an entry past down your intake manifold and into your PCV valve connected to a breather chamber.Good luck!
