Desided to go ahead and replace the aos since it already had upward of 30K on it and there was some oil in the intake. Finally figured out how to approach it for the best angle and it wasn't too bad. If you are right handed you can approach from the driver's rear fender and slide up over the engine and you can slide your right hand down the back of the engine and across to the aos and it is easy to push the release on the middle breather tube and slide it off. Then I just removed the 2 mount bolts and pulled the aos out of the bottom hose. Then you can access the clamp on that hose and remove it and mount it in one of the remote cable clamps for reassembly. Judging from the 2 hours it took me to change it, I would say the dealer is making about $500 an hour for their labor when you go to them. Haven't had a road test yet to see if it fixed the rpm fluctuation, but the aos needed to be changed and the intake and maf needed cleaning, so it was all necessary anyway.
