    tom's fpr writeup made it super easy - the idle control calve and throttle position sensor are super easy they are both where your air intake goes into the engine - pcv is just pull out with your fingers its on your drivers side valve cover - just make sure you hook up the vaccuum lines to all of them when you put the new ones on - i clean my pcv with carb cleaner and reuse it

    Don't want to nit-pick, Dub, but dudes name was Dino (just want to give credit where credit is due) I still have his FPR replacement write up printed out and have used it twice now.

    At least he's good with crayons.

    EDIT:

    Since I'm in a plagerizing mood, I'll finish what Dub started.

    THIS will be extremely helpful to future vx owners - is that an oem or aftermarket leaf?
