Yeah, I did the PCV replacement on mine when I replaced the spark plugs. I did it just because it was so convenient to get to with the surge tank off...

Default Trying to reach Oldgrump... Have a similar problem with a 2010 Toyota Highlander.

OldGrump - Have similar codes being thrown by a 2010 Highlander. Please can you advise on how to proceed.

I've replaced these on Honda cars and they generally slide into the head from the side and can be R&Rd fairly easily. Every engine is different though.
