Which one? - 8/18/2008 2:43:33 PM    davisi   Posts: 7 Score: 0 Joined: 8/18/2008 Status: offline I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX-ULEV VTEC and I got an air breather filter to prevent the carbon emmisions from going back into my intake and I am not sure where to put it...Do I replace the PCV valve or the breather Hose??

EDIT:  I just re-read your post ..... carbon emissions???   From the valve cover????   There''s not really any exhaust in there ..... probably traces, but it''s basically hot oil-laden air in there. < Message edited by falkore24 -- 8/19/2008 7:08:13 AM > _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to davisi) Post #: 2
