finding the right PCV

[sonik]

I got a new PCV at NAPA last week, but it has that "tree" at the top of the valve, while mine is just the actual valve and a rubber hose. My hose won't work with that tree. So I went to another place with Fram products and the valve listed in the catalog, FV292 is the same as the NAPA, but right next to it was FV291, which looks the same but without the tree. I picked it up. Should I try the tree-less one with my old hose or try and make the other one work? The parts guy there said they might have been built to withstand different pressures.

I see now that at Fram's web site they list FV246 as the valve to use.

i bought mine at wal-mart and it also had the little tree on it ..
i just pulled the tree off and reused the rubber hose from the old one
hope this helps you out

Thanks. We'll see how it works.

BTW, anyone know if the "email notification" still works? I haven't been getting emails about replies the last few days.

I got a pvc to replace the one that is on there, but im having trouble locating it on my 98 ex sport, can anyone help me locate this part. thanks

hmmm...i dont remember. i know it was up near the firewall somewhere. which engine do you have? you might want to look it up in a haynes or chilton if you have one.

thanks for the help. by the way it is a 4.0 SOHC

that manual is supposed to cover all models of the ex from 91-99 so it should be of use. on the OHV, it was near the backside of the engine, just sticking out....should be similar on the SOHC, but you may have to remove a few things to get to it.
