The throttle body doesn't need to be removed. I said I cleaned the throttle body. I wiped the crud out with a towel with carb cleaner on it. It was not very dirty. I replaced the filthy K&N air filters with regular paper. I may reuse them in the future, I'm not new to K&N. To do this you remove the plastic induction system not the manifold. It makes it easier to do the PCV. It like this if you are going to do one thing you might as well do it all while you are at it. The whole job is not very hard to do.

The plastic air induction is how the air gets from the Great out doors through the air filters and to to throttle body. If you can't figure that out take it to the dealer. This job is way over your head.

Well, I do not believe it can be done the way you claim. And if it is as easy as you claim, it will be very easy for you to show us how it is done.

As I understand it the pcv valve is under here… as you can see there’s black plastic the plastic and tubes are just that not the actual valve so I don’t see how you can remove the pcv without removing the intake manifold and throttle body

as you can see the intake manifold needs to be separated into 2 parts to access the pcv valve

I don't think you can cheat this but I can try it if you guys want me to see if it's possible.

I have to go into my engine to check the valley plate anyway since I'm paranoid. Might as well do this while I'm in there resealing it.

However you can just spray cleaner down the hose and clean it that way.....don't know why you need to remove it for cleaning?

A good amount of plastic safe cleaner may indeed work! I 'd definitely do an oil and filter change afterward because of the cleaner getting in the oil. Still much easier than disassembly.

There is the PCV on my LS460 2010 model, enough said. It ta​​​​​kes large metric open end wrench, crows foot or modified deep well socket to fit properly. I don't have communist wrenches that big, so I just use a good old American wrench with a screwdriver to take up the gap. Good luck looking under the intake manifold.

Everything about that picture is fake, it is not how 1UR-FSE is designed. Please, stop wasting our time.

That's not a 1UR engine......that's a 3UZ. You can literally see 5w-30 SL spec on the oil cap lol!

You also pulled that picture off google from a thread regarding the SC430 if I found the original lol
