marky_boy 1 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 stole this pic off a thread by funkyfive (hope he doesn't mind) . in the picture the pipe with the cable ties on it goes to a t and one goes under the airbox. got this on my car with a valve on the end with nothing plugged in. was like this when i got the car. unsure exactly what it does but other end of the valve not connected to anything. maf wasn't connected either and plugging it in did nothing. i have just brought a good second hand maf and airbox. i have fitted connected up maf and plugged a spare cable into that valve. car is now a shed loads faster. but the valve (thats just floating under airbox as cant see anywhere to plug it in.) is clicking/pulsing. and its pulling a vacuum. can anyone please shed a light onto this? is it essential or can i leave it unplugged?

VDub_Steve 1 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's a purge valve it sucks fumes from carbon cannister and puts them back into the engine. I have mine off and doesn't run any different. Link to post Share on other sites
