On the duct that leads from the air box to the throttle body, at the back of it there is a tube that leads to the rear valve cover. follow the tube and it'll connect to the pcv. youll probably have take off the engine covers

you can test your old one by pinching the tube it connects to(carefully). if the valve clicks, its good

Here it is:

Excellent post acutee!

I also wondered where the PCV valve was located.

Is there any reason to buy the Acura part instead of a less expensive aftermarket replacement? My long-time mechanic suggested that I only buy the Acura part but I've seen the non-Acura valves for much less.

170,000 miles on my original PCV valve. Never checked it before, is this something I should be changing from time to time?
