The Dude Abides Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I was changing out my t-stat and bumped this thing wich snapped off. What is it and what is its purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Evap purge solenoid or EGR solenoid - either way it won't cause you a problem. Just plug the lines that were going to it. The ECU is only looking for a good circuit and even with a broken nipple it will still have that. As long as you aren't seeing a CEL then just plug the lines and ignore it.

The Dude Abides Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yep, no cel and runs the same so ill plug it. Plugging the line is easy but nothing really to hook onto the broken piece. I could probally get one cheap from a car being parted out;) if it would make it that much easier of a repair.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 You could remove the solenoid and associated hoses, and replace it with a 33Ohm, 5 watt resistor as well. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
