Thank you I was able to get this done yesterday. Found another entry point the MAP sensor which is right after the throttle body attached is a pic. Unplug, unscrew, pull out and spray in. I did about 75% of the can into the MAP sensor port and 1/4 into the vacuum line. I removed the throttle body plastic hose and wiped it down, it was not in terrible condition but there are two spots on it I couldn’t clean of. Forgot to take a pic of it.

You were right I tried starting the car with the throttle body plastic hose off, the engine died within a minute and threw off the check engine light. After I put it back on and had about 4 drive cycles the check engine light turned back off


These catch can kits are crazy in pricing, do we really need this or would an annual CRC cleaning suffice? I drive less than 5k a year on this car.

Thanks again for all your guidance. I’m super happy I was able to do this myself instead of paying the dealer which is unreliable to begin with
