Hey bro. I have an 02 type S with 197,000 miles on it. Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos. I want to keep mine as long as possible I love it I'm by far not a mechanic so your videos are a God send. I wish I could send you a picture of mine. It's in really good shape
My current issue is water getting into my cabin filter and dripping. My ac drain isn't clogged nor are my sunroof drains. Trying to diagnose now. Be safe and thanks again
@@850CANE I'm glad my videos have been helpful! Perhaps the windshield cowl drain is clogged on that side. Maybe remove the cowl and check for any debree buildup under there
I have a 2002 navigation base model TL, Just hit 165k miles and it still runs like a FAST top. If you get a good rebuilt transmission, these cars are absolute gems. You're a hundred percent right, I want to keep mine going as long as possible!
I put one in 7 years ago that only costed me $2 after market... still works great. It's not rocket science, it's easy to build; It's literally just a ball in a hole-- just buy the cheap one.
Thanks for the video. Sadly the new design is terrible because the PCV Valve is placed on the side of the front valve where it gets extreme heat and over a long period of time has plastic overheats, it becomes brittle and breaks. Yesterday I "tried" to remove our PCV Valve from our MDX and it broke in half and is stuck inside the valve and now I have to remove the intake manifold and front valve cover to get in there to remove it. I wanted to replace the spark plug-hole seals anyway, so I guess this happened for a reason lol... I really wish Honda/Acura would design these out of metal so they didn't break off so easily. I was careful too, even tried a 45 degree pliers
What a pain! I agree, with as important as this little part is, there’s no reason they couldn’t have engineered it a little better. Corporate greed is what I call it. Thanks for watching!
@@CarRepairsMadeSimple You are welcome, besides greed, it is simple carelessness. In another video, I commented on a guy mentioned that he has a Toyota that has a PVC Valve made out of metal... no reason why Honda/Acura could not do the same. Thank goodness for RockAuto, just ordered a new Intake Manifold Cover Gasket, Valve Gaskets, Spark Plug Seals, etc.. With about 115K miles it was about time to replace these gaskets away.
Hey man hope your doing well. Quick quick question. Have you had any issues with your fog lights? Both mine just went out. Seems like a fuse but cant seem to find it anywhere?
I'm not sure I can be much help over the internet, usually, they just slide in and out pretty easily. Make sure all surfaces are free of rust and nice and smooth. Maybe use a wire brush and/or sandpaper followed by brake cleaner.
Hello, thank you for making a great point about it being a better air flow to travel if it was straight or more than 90° angle. I have a 2000 Acura Integra with 99k miles on it as of today. unfortunately mine confident OEM 90° angle PVC valve. What PVC valve would you recommend for my engine?
Yah after looking on multiple websites, I can only find 90 degree valves for your car. So on that note, I would recommend sticking with the Genuine Honda part
Hello brother. Off topic but wanted your input. Whenever i use an automatic car wash or drive in rain my car will stall and sputter right after starting up ad will go away but does this for days afterwards. Have you experienced this? Any solutions? Thank you. Have a great new year
@@850CANE I guess two other things I can think of is open the hood after a car wash and see if anything from the top is getting wet, specifically ignition cables. Otherwise maybe look at the oxygen sensor connected to the catalytic converter, that cable is rather exposed underneath the car.

I did that. I even poured some water down it and it drained fine. When I find the issue I will definitely share it with you

I need help trying to put my brake retainer clip back on for read brakes

@@CarRepairsMadeSimple Ok, thank you.
Have you changed your ignition coils ? Or do they last a long time?
I don’t know if the original owner replaced any, but I’ve only replaced 1 in the last 150,000 miles

I have not have this problem. One thing I can think of is maybe water is getting into your air intake. Do you have an aftermarket cold air intake?
@@CarRepairsMadeSimple no I don't. Maybe it's getting into a sensor of some sort

@@CarRepairsMadeSimple will do. Thank you. Happy new year brother
@@CarRepairsMadeSimple have you replaced your IACV? I have a bit of a rough idle
If you are going to the trouble of checking the valve, why not just put in a new one for $4.00.???!!!
Cause there’s nothing wrong with it and I don’t fix what isn’t broken!
