Civic EG

so i was checkin for vacuum leaks and found this
its connect to the carbon canistor and intake manifold

its called a purge valve o.0

number 17

ya what is this

is that a map sensor. just a guess

Its a Purge Valve, Probably to releave one of the vacuum systems on the car, Not 100% on what it does, I know they are really durable as mine was flopping around on my z6 coupe since I got the car in 05 and sold it in early 09.

its not a map sensor that would be number 22

yea and it is a purge valve
but what does it actually do

mine was floppin around to and its on my b16a

It purges the fuel vapors from the charcoal canister when certain conditions are met. It's an emissions device and it accounts for about 3-4 mpg.

wat could happen if u run ur car without it

wat could happen if u run ur car without it

you lose 3-4 MPG

also you should get a check engine light w/o this sensor

yea i was just asking cuz if u see in the picture it shows u that u can take it off

and just get a big hose and run it from the manifold and all the way to the canister

and u sure u can get a code
I'm looking at my repair manual and it doesn't show a code for a purge valve

if it has to do with emissions then it will throw a code
but you have a b16a? is it obd2?? or is it the obd1??

i have a jdm b16a
its obd 1 im runnin a p28

do you have a check engine light on rite now?

if so there is a 2 wire plug under the glove box, it should be in this green rubber thnig, get a paper clip and jump those wires wht the key on engine off and the check eninge light will blink out the code

there is a thread in the ecu area that tells wat code is wat

yea i know my check engine light is on but its only throwing one code and thats code-10 whish is the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor
