Hey guys,
I must have leaned on the purge valve that's bolted to the fender on the passenger side. The foward most nipple broke off. It is connected to the intake mani on the top, next to the cruise control nipple on the throttle body.
When it broke, the motor ran like crap and ticked. When I plugged it with a screw, the ticking stopped and it ran fine. Is this ok for now? Do I even need it since its part of that annoying charcoal can? Will this affect the venting of the gas system or have any effects? I have no CEL's yet and just dont have the cash to buy a new part at the moment. Thanks!
