I don't have any for the 300, sorry. If the JZ's are anything like the ZZ engines it will be easy to get to. If you can't find it on there, I downloaded the whole FSM in pdf forum for $20. Covers everything on the car. I was looking for the site but can't find it. I know I found the link on CL though.
I'd like to know once you perform this screen cleaning if the code goes away. My understanding is that there is a pressure switch that goes bad causing this problem, I would think if that oil control valve went bad you would have bigger problems.

There isn't a pressure sensor, there is a trigger wheel in the center of the intake cams. If the cam isn't where it should be when it should be the code will be thrown. If it is too slow it will through a code. The oil control valve may still be getting enough oil, just not the volume so it has a delay. Same with 02 sensors, when they get old they get slow and then throw code even though they are still producing the proper voltage for the 02 content.
so i had this problem and the other day i did a very thoro oil change and seafoam cleaner as well. i have been driving my car the past 2 days and so far no more cel. so hopefully all is good and back to normal.
hey clifton thanks alot for the info, im gonna change the ocv's this weekend and i will let you guys know how it works out for me.
I don't know your exact plans but I wouldn't replace them. The ocv's are pretty simple and not much can go wrong with them. I took mine out and cleaned them first then a month later ended up doing the filters. The ocv's get a lot of caked up oil crude too but the screens are really fine, kind of like a screen for a pipe or bong , not much goes through them when they get caked. I cleaned mine with brake cleaner.
on the 2jz 3.0L, its located just behind the intake cam sprocket on the top of the engine. you will see a black plug into what looks like a device thats in the valve cover.
to replace, unplug the plug, remove the 10mm bolt that holds the ocv in place, then give it a good yank. should come out relatively easy. some oil my spill out a little. all in all, should take you no more than a couple minutes,
or a couple hours if ur drunk, blind, deaf, cant read and prefer to use your feet.
