    Fuel quality has nothing to do with the throttle body contamination. Fuel does not come into contact with the throttle body.

    Is the PCV valve in the above picture?

    Can someone point it out?

    Thanks!

    I have a picture of the PCV that I can post later. It takes a 22mm wrench, preferably a really really short one. This is not an easy PCV valve to change.
