PCV should be on the valve cover, and i have no idea to what a brake booster line is....I would also run some through the gas tank.

the pcv valve on a v6 isn't as easily seen as it is on an i4 unless i'm missing something and i still can't find it.

so it worked, i didn't get much dark smoke coming out the exhaust but now i've got a check engine light. i assume it should probably go away after a while?

or can i reset the ecu? which fuse do i pull or how do i disconnect the battery?

okay so i didn't know there was a fuse box on the passenger side also. check engine light is gone now, i guess i'll only worry about it if it comes back on. i also believe resetting the ecu fixes some mileage problems after seafoaming?

to reset the check engine light just pull the fuse for the clock, which is on the passenger side fuse panel, for 5 seconds if you need to reset it later.
