    if its stuck open the line goes to the gas tank so that being open all the time could make your fuel trims look like a vac leak.

    take the line off the tb, cap the tb port , see if is better.

    you can, it will toss a evap code but it will drive just fine.

    sounds like you have a evap code already? if so what code?
