Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid orielly has them for 34.99, dsmuts ill give u a dollar for it i broke mine too lol,
04-10-2013
well glad u found out what it was we posted at the same time lol
fwiw im pretty sure it affects the cruise someway maybe because i broke mine and cruise doesn't work but it did before it broke, idk

I would think it would only effect the cruise because it could cause a vacuum leak? I know on older vehicles the cruise works via vacuum. I just don't need a vacuum leak and I was running knock free on a 3.5 then started to get KR slowly over the past few weeks. Ported the blower and it just kept steadily creeping higher so I replaced the beat up upper mounts and swapped the fuel filter which was dumping blackened fuel so hopefully its gone.

Yup I gotta replace all the vacuum lines, getting a reading of 9.2-9.6 at idle.
04-11-2013
plug the vaccum line and drive lol fix it when you get there

Already replaced the part the cars running ok but the vacuum is low, I'm gonna rip out all the plastic loose fitting hard vacuum line they have and use rubber hose sometime this week...

Most likely your biggest leak is a the throttle body with the hose that leads to the evap you replaced. I like to use a piece of 3/8" hose (about 1inch) then an adapter from 3/8 to 1/4 and run 1/4 hose the rest of the way to the evap.

this fat line looping over to the rear of the engine is the evap vac line, i used a fat vac line, to a smaller on that fit inside the fat one, and on the plastic line to the evap.
double check all the T's too, they seem to crack real easy, both of mine cracked when i did my lim.
04-11-2013
Ya I replaced that line for the evap when I put the new part on, had no choice it sheered off when I touched it lol. The T fittings are all sloppy loose and the two smaller rubber lines ontop of the blower are dry rotted all to hell.

i found my T's at advance auto, they were the only once who had the small t's, the rest were in the help section, they were huge and ugly, and over priced.
the 2 i got ran me 2 bucks, 2 per pack. the vac line cost 3 bucks, nice and cheap fix.

Nope still 9.5 lbs at idle... idle bounces between 700 and 850 I may take it to my buddies shop and fill the lines with smoke..

Well bleh... Filled it with smoke and no leaks anywhere, I have a Overkill canned tune in it and I believe he disables the egr codes? I am wondering if the valve is closing all the way at idle or if its sticking. I know when I pulled the blower and throttle body all the gaskets were cooked and the throttle body was filthy.
