is it a TPS high voltage code? Also I believe I’ve seen those PCVs at autozone. You might have just encountered at dumb counter person.

ignore the code for now. i think you’re getting a code because the ecu is commanding the idle down and the idle won’t go down because of a vac leak at that valve. replace valve, clear codes, then see what happens. If you are unsure whether or not your vac leak is fixed, spray the connector area with carb cleaner after you fix it. If the idle goes up, there’s still a leak.

just replaced the valve and the connector boot, hopefully the code goes away after a couple ignition/warm up cycles. if not im going to clear it and see how it goes.

The CEL will go out after a LARGE amount of key/drive cycles but yeah it could take weeks of normal driving, take the five minutes and let Advance Auto clear it out for ya.
