Anyways, I noticed the previous owner put the PM6 code PCV valve on my 94 VX at the intake manifold location. I popped it off and cleaned it out...I think it was actually stuck. Being a PM6, it had the guts in it. After that, I went down to the OTHER PCV valve attached to the breather box. I couldn't pull it out due to the stupid clip being turned the wrong way, but I was about to clean it out regardless. It was a brown PCV valve that had guts in it too. So, I cleaned both and hooked it back up.
My question is can anyone definitely say as to whether there is suppose to be 0, 1, or 2 PCV valves on the VX? Based on what I'm reading, it seems like there was ORIGINALLY only 1 PCV valve attached to the breather chamber, then the gutless elbow at the intake, where I currently have a PM6 PCV valve.
Seeing this, should I take the guts out of the PM6 PCV valve near the intake and then just run the original PCV valve near the breather?

I did a lot of research on this and from the factory there should be an open elbow that attaches to the IM. The working PCV valve goes into the breather box under the IM. I just replaced mine with a Oem replacement from honda. Previous owner had a second pcv installed where the open elbow should be. Chopped it open and removed the guts than reinstalled it. Haven't felt any difference in drive ability since I did the work.
