valve cover hose and the intake

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

What is the point of the valve cover hose that goes to the valve cover to the intake....I did a three step intake clean and I found alot of grit inside my throttle body. What if I put one of those small little cone filter things on the valve cover where it comes out so that it does not go back into my intake and clog my injecters....

[bobafett]

thats a good idea. i dont know the purpose of that hose, but i know it gets the inside of my intake tubing greasy and oily. i think a good cleaning would be good for my TB, and intake manifold as well! :)

anyway the breather filter coming from the valve cover is a smart thing, just make sure and plug the hole in ur intake tube.

[89AccordLvr]

what's the best thing to plug the hole of the intake tube if u put a breather on

[bobafett]

when i bought my intake it came with a hose, (which i currently have connected to the valve cover) and a plug, that was just a cap that fits over the port on the intake. if you wanted to be ghetto you could just use tape. but i think a generic 3/8? silicon plug/cap would do the job.

actually i dont know how critical it is to plug it. but you might as well suck as little unfiltered air as possible right?

[89AccordLvr]

how much do u take of of the valve hose when taking of the original

[Scotts88WhiteLX-i]

if you r gonna put a breather filter on you take of all the hose like mine...>http://images.cardomain.com/installs/304000-304999/304590_4_full.jpg

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

I was told by Auto Zone that it would not do anyhting to the car to hurt it but I know it would not put all that carbon build up back into the throttle body and into the injecters...Some get abck to me on the if you think differant..i want to think is someone thinks that it might hurt the car...

[importracerkid]

Scott on your pic when you added a cai what did you do with the black thing attached to the back of the Intake manafold it is the where the stock intake pipeing connects just behind the manifold?
Just take it off?? thanks for the info

[89AccordLvr]

thats looks good scott, but i need to know where you can get the plug to fill the hole on the pipe like where do they sell those 3/8 silicone geniric cap/plug that bobafett wuz talkin bout

[dews89blkaccord]

use JB weld! :)

[89AccordLvr]

whats that and where can i get it

[dews89blkaccord]

You can buy it at any hardware store or wal-mart. It is a cold weld process. I use it on my cold air intake to join the two pipes
together instead of using the rubber couple to make one solid
pipe. Stuff works great!!:cool:

[89AccordLvr]

what do u do to install it and do u need special tools sorry if those r stupid questions im new at this

[1988starter]

The hose is for the PCV circulation it is a good thing

It has to do with emissions. It takes all the blowby gasses and sends them back into the engine to get burnt.

It come in two tubes. Just mix in equal parts and apply to what
you want to mend or the hole you want to fill. It also comes in
two different types, quick dry which dry in 5 mins or regular.
I've always used the quick dry. Wal-mart seems to have the best
price. And.... no you don't need any special tools just something
to apply it with.
If you have anymore question don't hesitate :)

I have an aftermarket short stack intake for '89 LX-i Accord, which is fuel injected. Anyways, the breather tube is causing problems when there is a lot of moisture in the air. The breather tube didnt fit and I connected it with with another tube that fits nicely over the top of it and connects well to the engine block. The water in the breather tube will cause the engine to hiccup and stall because not enough air gets into the engine, and it can stall. Any suggestions on how to fabricate a better system that doesnt fail in moist weather.

[89AccordLvr]

hey, dews89blkaccord so all i do is go to wal-mart and ask for JB weld and they know what im talking about or is there a special brand. Thanks for your help

Thats it. JB Weld is the brand. And they will know what your talking about.

[dews89blkaccord]

Big J Are you talking about the intake tube to the intake?

[89AccordLvr]

thanks alot this will help me alot and now i can use a breather and plug up the hole because those little breathers looks so nice with the intake system

[johnwc723]

jb weld is GREAT STUFF!!

[89AccordLvr]

hey i was wondering , when you take out the stock intake do you take out all the tubing it comes with meaning everything with the intake or do i leave certain tubes there. Also what's this resonator thing that has to do with the intake and where is it on the car, also does it come off with the stock intake?

[1988starter]

You take out all the tubes and you plug in 1 pcv hose sor 88,89 or 1 pcv hose and 2 vacume hoses for 86,87

[SiCReX]

first of all from what I have heard the hose from the valve cover to the intake is to relieve the pressure from inside the engine. I'm not positive but i'm pretty sure thats what it's for. and scott what did you do with the 2 vaccuum lines that went into the stock air filter box? did you just clamp them or what? starter what do you mean? can you take some more pics to show what you are talkin about?

[89AccordLvr]

yea, starter where do you plug the pcv hose on a 88,89

i don't think i have that little black thingy cause mines an 88 i think those are only on the 86-87 accords.......

Just plug it into the intake pipe.

[89AccordLvr]

oh now i know what u mean but STARTER , if i get a breather i can take the pcv plug out and put a breather in and plug the hole on the intake tube

[SiCReX]

k I put the little breather on my valve cover and I put some aluminum foil over the little hose on the intake hose and at first it was all good, my car seemed to be A LOT quicker for some reason(I know it wasnt in my head because even my g/f could tell). Now i'm not sure if that was from what I did or what but when I popped the hood to check everything out I noticed 2 things that were Not good. first i noticed I was stupid for trying to clamp a piece of foil to the intake hole because it sucked a hole right through it and I guess sucked some into the engine, lol. Also I noticed that there was some oil comming out of the top of the valve cover where that bolt or whatever the hell that is comes out. I am not sure If that was there before or what but I dont need my car blowin out oil from any of the seals. also, once I connected everything back up again I noticed it did not seem as peppy like before. maybe it was just a fluke but I'm gonna try it again and see what happens.

[1988starter]

I am not a big fan of breathers because they interupt the pcv system which in my opinion should stay intact. Without it the gasses in the valve cover do not vent as well.

[89AccordLvr]

hey if i want to put on a breather how do you take the whole pcv tube thing out because on my it looks like its glued to another piece between the valve cover and stock intake

[SYKO5150]

whats the point of the breather filters then if u need them to "pass" the emissions b.s

[89AccordLvr]

i have question for those who took off there stock intake, at the throttle body where you take the intake off it goes in a U position to another hole when you take that off do you have to cover that hole with something? please help

[dews89blkaccord]

you can remove that u pipe and the filter box it connects to.
the filter box is connected by two bolts on top of the throttle
body.

[89AccordLvr]

so what do you do with the hole that's there when you remove the stock intake because you dont just take of the intake from the throttle body there another right under it where you have to the intake goes into

[dews89blkaccord]

thats your filter box.

[89AccordLvr]

look at this link and see the piece that look like a wide-U on the
bottom left

http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6791&highlight=removing+stock+intake

there's two holes on come from the throttle body the other goes down into some other hole to connect to, so when i take it out what do i do with the open hole

[dews89blkaccord]

on the filter box, one tube comes in from the fender well at the top of the box. at the bottom of the box is where the u tube connects and goes into the throttle body. if your putting a intake on you can discard all those pieces you see in the thread you posted. i hope this answer your question.

[89AccordLvr]

yea it does kinda i hope nothin goes wrong when i install it i dont think anything it goes wrong and one more question where is the ecu fuse under the hood or in the car where the fuses are under the cruise control button?

[dews89blkaccord]

Right behind the battery under the hood is box, the ecu fuse is in there. fuses are marked on top of the fuse box. take it out while you install the intake.

Buy a haynes repair manual, it will tell you everything you will ever want to know about your car. It is like a Bible for your car. :)

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

would I fail emmissions if I put a breather on it or would my egr or some other things mess up cause they would not sense the blowby of the gases

[SiCReX]

i doubt it has anything to do with emissions like that. I am pretty sure its just to relieve pressure in the engine so you dont start blowin oil out from all your seals. makes sense to me.
