Well can't say for sure if it was the valve cover or ESS that was giving me issues. During long highway cruises, the car would go into a limp mode. Once in limp mode I could hear a whistling noise and the idle was very rough. I was told that the Crankcase vent valve was bad and needed a new valve cover and while the valve cover is off to go ahead and replace the ESS since they commonly go bad after 100k miles. Oil gets in them and once it does, it will fry the sensor pretty much.
Mine had a little bit of oil so if it wasn't fried yet, it was going to be soon and I would not have wanted to take the valve cover off a second time. Very time consuming (but not really difficult) job.
