I received the fix-kit v3 but the black tab fell off the screwdriver and now I have to remove the intake manifold to get the tab. Does anyone have a suggestion on an alternative to the black tab and epoxy to put in the intake manifold? I recall seeing another video where a short sheet metal screw was used to plug the check valve hole. Please any advice is greatly appreciated.

Oh wow. If I can avoid pulling the intake, that would be ideal. Help me understand though. If the plug sits in the manifold, it won't hurt anything? Yes, I did send you a separate email and your help is greatly appreciated.

Yes you need to do both. New OEM valve cover and the pcv fix kit.

Would it be a good idea to confirm that the valve diaphragm on the valve cover is torn by listening for a whistling sound? Also, see if an ODB reader can be borrowed to check for the code P0171 (I believe that's one of the codes). If the code is there and a whistling sound from the valve cover, then good bet the valve cover needs to be replaced. Or maybe just do it any way but be becareful when installing the valve cover to not strip the head threads...been there done that, it sucks.
