Whining Noise from B18B1

[tlh89]

ok i have a B18B in my CRX. When the engine warms up i hear a whining noise. I originally thought it was the alternator. However on further investigation it isnt. When i pull the dipstick out the whining stops. Put the dipstick back in, more whinig. So i thought maybe the dipstick was hitting something so i tried just plugging the hole. Still whines. I have no clue what this is, does anyone have any ideas?

It's probably whining because it doesn't have VTEC.

maybe crank case pressure getting past the seal on the dipstick

-replace your PCV valve and i bet you fix the issue

and how hard is it to replace the PCV valve

[ash7]

depends on which year B18B1 you're talking about really, either of which has minimal skill/time involved.

90-97 = ten minutes - (on intake manifold, underneath fuel rail)
98-01 = two seconds - (sitting right on top of the valve cover)

locate your haynes manual, and get started :)

It is easy to learn this tasking young padowan

ok thanks i appreciate it

[tlh89]

so whats it look like, and is it goin to hurt anything if i drive it until i get a new one saturday

[ash7]

my guess would say that you'll be alright driving it until saturday (use your common sense)

it's a little piece of plastic that connects to a rubber hose. Consult your haynes manual bro. Otherwise, just go to the parts store, ask for the PCV valve (they'll give you the right part) and then locate that same piece on your manifold.

haha i would whine to if i didnt have vteC... HAHA

[tlh89]

tried to find the pcv valve today and couldnt find it, because alot of the vaccum lines under the fuel rail are capped off.. any ideas?

READ THE FREAKING HAYNES MANUAL - it has picures and everything -

it's not that hard bro

this is what it looks like

[tractionless]

yea ive already bought the part and a haynes manual..still couldnt find it??

[tlh89]

sorry.. that was me ^^^ my buddy left his account logged in

[ash7]

after all that has been said in these postings already, if you still can't find it bro, then i don't know what to tell you.

*unless there isn't one installed - in which case, you may be "chasing a ghost" looking for it. Take a close up picture of your manifold and I'll circle where it's supposed to be for you. lol

this is insane

[tlh89]

and what can i do if there isnt one installed?

[LS2ner]

burn ur car. j/k. sell ur blox ITM and get an OEM one.

[gsrteg]

I was going to post a diagram of where the PCV valve located but, you said you have an after mark. manifold. If you still want it, i'll upload it. just pm me.

[tlh89]

ttt

[ash7]

there you go bro

-jonathan

[blaknoize]

and how hard is it to replace the PCV valveIts not hard. Fukin pull it out with some pliers (if its the original its gonna be a PAIN without them and its way past due) just pull it out and push the new one back in.

Its on the top of ur motor by the way.

:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:
i was about to say the same.. lmao

[dkjohnson04]

wow....just wow!!!

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Instead of buying a new one, can't you just spray out the old pcv valve with carb cleaner?

[90SiHatch]

it can also be your alternator making the noise, loosen up your alternator and take the belt off and start the engine and see if it still makes the noise. if it doesn't it could just be the bearings in the alternator, i had one do this and it never went out on me.
