Are you looking for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve?

As you look at the engine, passsenger side,up against the firewall. It is pressed into a rubber grommet located on the inner valve cover. There is a rubber hose wire clamped to the upper fitting of the valve.
This hose is removed prior to PCV valve removal. Use care when reinstalling, as not to push the grommet inside the valve cover when reinstalling the PCV valve.

The PCV valve is cleaned with water based citrus cleaner, rather than solvent based like paint thinner. Solvents leave sticky residues.

The spark plugs are located under their individual coils. When you remove the engine cover by removing the three 5mm sleeve nuts and spinning the "L" symbol counter-clockwise. There are no commonly used spark plug wires, distributor, or rotor.

You then see the front three coils bolted in place,each with a single 10mm headed bolt. The rear three are visible when the auto is raised on jackstands and observed from the underside. They are accessed by reaching in and around the upper intake manifold. Some just remove the upper manifold to access the rear plugs easier.
