It's on the passenger side valve cover. It is very hard to get to. Most people will remove the throttle body and plenum to get to it. If you do it that way, you might as well give the tb and plenum a good cleaning. However, it is possible to replace it without removing these things but it is a real pain in the ass. Be prepared to spend some time on it. And you will need some patience. Good luck.

You need to pull the intake. You might as well change the valve cover gaskets while you are there. You will need intake gasket, pcv hose, grommet, pcv and lots of patience. It will be a day job.

I think the engineer who designed the 3VZ-E is roasting slowly over a bed of hot coals for all eternity...
