PCV Valve
Sorry guys I know this is posted here already but the search function is not helping me out one bit. I've been putting this off for too long and now my car is idling strangely. It keeps dropping either when I slow down or come to a complete stop. Im going to attempt to clean the IAC and replace the PCV valve but I cant find the DIY. Any help is appreciated...

When I replace my PCV, I just used a pair of long-nose pliers and wiggled the valve out, don't go to hard and try to pull it straight out because you might damage the gromet, which could fall into the manifold which could be a big problem. If you replace your PCV, just put a little oil to help it slide in.
If you have plan to take out out your throttle body to get to the IAC, just remember to have a throttle body gasket handy if you damage the old one and label the hoses so you remember where they go.
The final thing to do is to remove the 7.5A #13 fuse on the passenger side to reset to ECU.
Good-luck. 200miles after IAC and PCV replacement no problems.
