Not a issue for V8's as oil feed lines are internal
This filter is only a issue with 2JZ VVTi as this engine type has a added external line with this filter at bearing cap junction

Check the diagrams posted filter is located just bellow the VVTI solenoid you will need a 22mm spanner to remove if you cant find it please pay a professional

Correct buy a new one if screen or plastic are damaged

Post your link referse to was fixed by pluging back in the oil control valve

Yes. You were right. The black connector was not pushed all the way together. Problem fixed.

P1656 means the OCV circuit (Oil Control Valve) is malfuntioning, or not receiving any signal. Take a look at the picture below.

I have this code, but the filter is clear and I checked the timing belt and it's lined up perfectly, considering i changed it last month. I did pull it all apart just to recheck it though when this code popped up.
engine runs smooth once the rpms are up, but barely idles.

The filters are an issue on 1UZ's as well. They are just a PITA to get to. Anyone looking to do them should do the timing belt as well as you are in there. You need to remove the front cam towers on both sides. You might be able to loosen the sprocket bolts and slide the cam sprocket forward enough to get them out but I did mine all in one shot. I believe I have posted on the 400's before maybe even with pics.
i6 engine - checked my OCV filter and it was clean as a whistle. my CEL is still throwing code 1349 and misfire on all plugs. Had my VVTi pulley replaced along with tbelt and all seals just yesterday - $570 from my mechanic. The CEL and rough idle went away for just a day. In looking at the diagram I'm not sure if the tbelt needs to be removed again to replace the OCV. Can anyone tell me if so?

can anyone tell me the OCV part number for a 2jz engine? I have a hook up on parts just found out.
15330-46010 and you will only have to remove the timing belt cover to get access to the bolt holding the Oil Control Valve in place. It is a 1 connector, 1 bolt job and shouldn't take you more than 15min to replace.

Thank you bro!

Well, its been a while since Ive logged in, but I started getting a very rough idle and random "Almost Limp Mode" about 2 months ago. And then I found this thread, and I thought Bingo...gotta be it.
When I say Very Rough Idle, I mean as in Extremely Rough Banging Gunna Blow the Engine apart. Most of the time if you rev it up its fine, and all of the time once your up to speed, the car runs perfectly. But it will go into a semi-limp-mode where maybe you get stuck at 35mph for 10 seconds and then it surges, or maybe it gets stuck off the line, and then surges after a 5-10 seconds of toying with the gas pedal. Its a completely different feeling than I had when my Throttle body Motor went bad 3 yrs ago.
My Symptoms were exactly as everyone else describes, so I decided to check my little filter last night. And to my dismay, the filter was clean. So, I appreciate everyone's help and posts, but Im gunna have to go searching probably for a bad camshaft sensor/loose-cricked wire, or an ignition problem.
As a side note - someone on this site said "Replace, dont clean the filter, its housing is made of plastic..." - The housing is made of machined aircraft aluminum, and the mesh is stainless steel...the filter will never go bad.
So, I took my OCV Filter out the other day, hoping maybe the filter was just plugged up. Not the case. Filter was clean and completely open.
I reset the computer and drove, and the extremely rough idle with intermittent non-throttle response was back. I plugged in the Code reader, and got the same codes everyone else gets:
P1656 - OCV Circuit Bank 1
P1349 - VVT System Bank 1
Im now fairly convinced its either the OCV electrical Valve itself, or the sensor.
The other possibility is the actual VVT Cam itself could have something inside of it causing it to not operate smoothly.
The Final thing would be the ECU.
Im going to be replacing the electrical OCV valve soon and will post my results once I do so.
For all those seeking part numbers, this thread has a diagram of the entire system with part numbers (Thank you Jason T!!) http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-s...ve-filter.html
Oil Control Valve: L15330-46011 (old) L15330-46010(new) / $121+tax - $163+tax Lexus Dealer in AZ. - Ouch. (Call around!)
Oil Control Valve: L15330-70010 / UK or Non-US Part number ?
OCV Filter: 15678-46020 / $8-$10 (its made from Machined Aluminum housing and SS mesh - If mesh isnt ripped, clean it, no need to replace)
