Cleaning PCV valve (replacement of PCV valve): Easy car engine tune up

I show the procedure for cleaning PCV valve (replacement of PCV valve) on the 2003 - 2007 Honda Accord. This easy car engine tune up will help keep your engine in top shape. This procedure applies to K24A engines found in some years of Honda Element and Odysseys 2003 - 2006. The principle of cleaning is the same in most cars with a combustion engine although the procedure for removal may differ slightly. I also demonstrate how to test a PCV valve. A bad PCV valve or PCV valve failure will cause oil burn/consumption, oil leaks, sludge and will also cause lean codes like P0171 or P0174. A lot of car manufacturers do not have a recommended interval for replacing the PCV valve, however, this is something that should be done on a schedule for optimum performance. I make a recommendation in the video.
