Pcv...
Just checked out rockauto for pcv's and they have a few different ones.
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php
1. Fram
2. Standard Auto Products
3. Airtex
4. ACDelco
5. Beck/Arnley (brass?)
Some seem to be different materials...does it really matter? Are they all metal/steel? Should I just pick the shiny one lol? Why so many?!! I'll be getting the Stand.AutoPro grommet too. Hmmmm, Fram is the cheapest but I'll pay an extra $2 if I have to. I know this is a rinky dink decision in the grand scheme of things but would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I would suggest just getting it from the dealer, thats where I get mine. Im in Ontario and I think the PCV comes to a staggering cost of like 8 bucks CDN. By the time you ship, you arent saving anything.

Go with the dealership one. It's around 6 bucks. Sure, Rock Auto is great, but they don't always carry the best products for everything you need...some of their products are top notch, and the same that Toyota uses though.

I would just pick up the cheapest damn one I could find locally. They need to be replaced periodically anyways.
Mine just has a hard plastic elbow - no valve at all. Any ideas what effect that could have?

I got a new PCV valve, just the cheapo Fram.
But who cares, thats not the issue.
I can't get the old one out to save my skin. The bastard is stuck. I can spin it, but can't pull it out, with pliers or anything. I've never encountered an irremovable PCV.
What gives?

I ended up getting the OEM PCV valve and the old one was alright once I got it out. I had the valve cover off but ya, had a bitch of a time with pliers/vise-grips...I eventually just tapped...well gave it a good shot into the cover just to loosen things up and then just pry, pry, pry. And ya, get a new grommet.
