#127291 Its a Purge Valve, Probably to releave one of the vacuum systems on the car, Not 100% on what it does, I know they are really durable as mine was flopping around on my z6 coupe since I got the car in 05 and sold it in early 09.

#127686 It purges the fuel vapors from the charcoal canister when certain conditions are met. It's an emissions device and it accounts for about 3-4 mpg.

#132065 yea i was just asking cuz if u see in the picture it shows u that u can take it off

and just get a big hose and run it from the manifold and all the way to the canister

and u sure u can get a code
I'm looking at my repair manual and it doesn't show a code for a purge valve

#132078 do you have a check engine light on rite now?

if so there is a 2 wire plug under the glove box, it should be in this green rubber thnig, get a paper clip and jump those wires wht the key on engine off and the check eninge light will blink out the code

there is a thread in the ecu area that tells wat code is wat
