    Don't think so I have the code for awhile now ( like over a year ) and just got around to changing it. and I have never had that problem for over 20,000 miles I was just lazy

    Valve fails in the open position, Crappy Idle, Crappy Drivability. If its stuck in the closed position it doesn have much effect.

    Your charcoal canister could be full of gas and it is purging raw fuel.
