I've located the PCV valve, and can hardly manage to get to it from the top of the engine compartment (I got the hose removed, but cant get the PCV out! A combination of my hands not being small enough and stuff in the way.). Any tips or tricks to getting it out? I unclipped the throttle cable to help move it out of the way, but there's A/C hoses in the way that I don't think I can really move.

I think its a deep 17mm socket to remove it, but there's like no room in there. I can't jack up the car because I have no jack (well, besides the emergency jack), jackstands, or ramps.

The rest of my tune-up went very well:
- Got the throttle body and EGR out and cleaned the hell out of them with throttle body cleaner, there was a significant amount of carbon on that throttle body, it was nasty.
- Replaced air filter, spark plugs, and fuel filter.
- Poured a bottle of Red Line SI-1 into the tank and filled it up (that should clean out the fuel injectors among other things).

PS: To depressurize the fuel line when replacing the fuel filter, skip trying to remove the PGM-FI relay, it's a real pain in the ***. Just disconnect the wiring harness from the fuel pump and start the engine, it'll hiccup and die in about 10 seconds. Also, who the heck said there was a sock in the tank... I swear that I've read that people have said there is a sock, but none to be found... just the regular in-tank filter.

Take a picture of your shituation and maybe we can help.

should be able to get it from the top. you have enough space for a socket wrench to turn a few clicks and loosen it. its cramped but possible. dont forget to put a new washer when tightening it.

i would use the emrg jack and jack up the driver side and get to it from under because you can see. i just did this and i slid in kinda under the driver door and was able to get with no problem.

I managed to change it, only took like 5 minutes this time. Last time I was messing with my 1/2" wrench, cause I have a 17mm for it but it's too big and I have no room, so I went and bought a 17mm deep socket for my 3/8" wrench, which is a bit smaller, and I had enough room to do it from above.

Also, I reused the old washer, it looked like a plain old aluminum washer to me, so I reused it... was it a crush washer? Lol.
