How to Find a Burnt Valve in a 1996 Honda

The purpose of the intake valves on 1996 Hondas is to push air through the engine. The fuel and air mixture inside the engine is altered if a valve is burnt; this might cause the car to overheat. The engine might suffer irreparable damage -- and require an overhaul -- if it stays too hot for too long.

Instructions

1

Drive the car around the block. Listen to the sound of the engine and note its operation. A burnt valve causes engine movement that might be felt inside the cab. Listen for any ticking sounds; these are indicative of a burnt valve.

2

Turn off the engine and open the hood. Inspect the the cars valves for burns or cracks. The valves are large metallic cylinders located on top of the engine.

3

Unplug the vacuum hose that runs into the intake manifold. This is the metallic piece around the valves. Plug the end of the hose into a vacuum gauge. Turn on the Honda and look at the gauge. If the needle bounces, the vehicle likely has a burnt valve.
