I'd match the plug wires.

Why remove the PCV?

Never had a 3.crap so I don't know on cleaning one.

You'll need to remove the intake plenum to get to the EGR. BE VERY CAREFUL PULLING IT or you'll break off the nipple(s) on the TVV.

Also, replace both the PCV & the Seal/Gasket around it~

Don't forget to get a new intake gasket...they are paper & need to be replaced every time.
