- Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:58 am #127291 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.

- Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:39 pm #127686 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.

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:34 pm #132039 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

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:10 pm #132065 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

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:14 pm #132068 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??

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:20 pm #132075 i have a jdm b16a
its obd 1 im runnin a p28

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:25 pm #132078 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

- Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:34 pm #132085 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
