Also since I will be running a catch can I removed the two breathers from the rocker cover. Then I had the "Genius" Idea to block the hole under the map sensor since its only supplying vacuum to the solenoid and reroute the purge valve solenoids vacuum line to the now spare vacuum nipple next to the Fuel regulator. In my genius moment I snapped the manifold sides nipple off the solenoid and cant get the other side off to replace it.... So my question is. Could I just let it purge to atmosphere and deal with the fuel smell or will it affect anything? I'm happy to answer questions and post pictures/videos if you find my crappy explanation hard to understand. TYIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was removing all that NA Butterfly vacuum crap in the diagram. I have also removed the PVC valve from the top of the engine since I am running a catch can. Now the hole under the map sensor is only supplying vacuum to the circled fuel vapour purge solenoid. So I thought I would move it to the now spare vacuum nipple next to the fuel reg and block off the hole under the map to neaten everything up. I snapped the manifold side of the solenoid and can no longer attach a hose to supply vacuum to said solenoid.... So, do I now unplug the solenoid, remove the line all the way back to the charcoal canister remove that and then run a hose from the fuel tank breather to somewhere towards the back of the car (near the diff breather maybe?) Or do I get a new solenoid and attach it like I was going to? If I remove everything will it cause any error codes or mess with anything? I have also been told having it purge into the manifold helps with fuel economy.. is that true? I don't want to make my already garbage econ worse 😂. Lastly if I remove it all do I leave the solenoid plugged in or unplug it and let the wire hang? I will be getting this tuned (Ill Most likely bring it to you Jet!) once it is all completed with a built engine... If that helps figuring this out.

Disregard any purge stuff and once you get it tuned you can have it switched off in the tune so it doesn't throw a code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly will it decrease fuel economy like I was told? idk much in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't affect fuel economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean unplugging the actual solenoid? My terry throws off code P0443, like the og post, I have vented the fuel purge line to atmo but I get a engine light every-now and then. Its always the same P0443, I usually clear it and go about my business but the engine light coming on does my head in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess just unplugging the solenoid would throw a code all the time. Maybe you have a faulty solenoid? If your car is tuned get the tuner to turn it off and throw it all in the bin. (Weight reduction! Yay!) if not you can try replacing the solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
