evap

[Alexgp]

can a open evap purge solenoid cause a vacuum leak?

 

[Scottydoggs]

hell yes.

 

[Alexgp]

**** then I found my vac leak bro

 

[Scottydoggs]

what side is open, tb to the solenoid?

 

[Alexgp]

idk how can I tell?

 

[Scottydoggs]

if its stuck open the line goes to the gas tank so that being open all the time could make your fuel trims look like a vac leak.

take the line off the tb, cap the tb port , see if is better.

 

[Alexgp]

I remember someone saying I needed a tune but could I run the car with the tb capped?

 

[Scottydoggs]

you can, it will toss a evap code but it will drive just fine.

sounds like you have a evap code already? if so what code?

 

[Alexgp]

yeah I have a code I dont remember what code it was tho when I went to autozone it said to replace the evap purge solenoid tho

 

[Alexgp]

so the tune is just to keep the code from popping up right?

If only you read the thread you made yesturday, then you'd know that answer.

 

[Scottydoggs]

id swap the purge solenoid then, its a simple swap. junk yard parts are king.
