@ slownugly:
the leanburn engine (on the VX anyways) does have a PCV valve, it's just in a funny place. There is a strange canister that plugs right into the block at the back, by the oil filter. From there a tube goes up towards the intake manifold. Down by the canister is what *looks* like a PCV valve but it's not, it's just a connector. But there is a PCV valve right by/in the intake manifold that is an elbow shape, and from there directs piping to the intake where it vents. It's a really strange system...I wonder why it's not "normal." I also wonder why they used a canister below. I have a theory, but it not be worth much. What I wouldn't give to be able to talk to one of the original lead Honda engineers that designed the VX back in the day, and just pick his brain for 2 days straight.
greasemonkee...about the iacv: if you can't be certain it came from a 92-95 model year CX or VX, then I think I want to pass. There is a difference between those two models and the other civics of that time. The fact that the other models also simultaneously had a fast idle valve but the VX/CX didn't is substantive. If you go to Majestic Honda and plug in the right info, you will get the fiche pictures that show it. If you do have one from a CX or VX though, let me know...although I'm running out of time for it. Also, if you or anyone else is interested in a 5 wire 02 censor for the VX used for only one tank of gas, let me know.
Thanks
