removing the auxiliary purge valve

Post by macipusy »

My auxiliary purge valve has a broken nipple for the canister line... and air leaks like crazy...idles like crap too
Can I just remove the valve and cap off the lines...or should I get one from a junkyard?

any ill effects?

If you can find one, it'd be good to replace, if not, you'd probably be alright with capping the lines off. The only thing I might do is put a check valve in the vent line going back to the tank, so in the event the cpc valve fails, you're not putting pressurized air in the tank.
