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??

 

It is supposed to replace the breather hose. Realize that you are eliminating the PCV function by not having suction on the cylinder head. Your mini-me filter is more likely to hold the oil in the valve cover gasket than filter any air going into there. IMO, it's not a good idea to partially eliminate things. You'd be better off pulling the PCV valve and plugging the hole, but I wouldn't recommend that either.


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.

 

Ok so it looks like I was a littlemislead by the instructions originally given to me (that is what learning is about I guess). You say that it is used to replace the Breather hose. In this case, you must be suggesting that, if used, I should put it where the breather hose connects to the intake manifold (i can see why...B/C this would allow for cleaner air to be taken into the throttle housing which would allow a lesser carbon build-up in the throttle plate) and the plug where the hose went into my valve cover...This seems like this is what I need but I have one minor issue...there is not quite enough space...any ideas?
