Exclamation What the heck is supposed to be there?

I had P0443 code, which said there was a fault with my purge vavle C. I replaced it and noticed that a line runs from the throttle body to a broken piece inside the fender. I put my finger where the plastic piece should be and sure enough i could feel the air rushing. What is it and where do i get it? ITs a 98 RS.
Thanks in advance guys.

Re: What the fuck is supposed to be there?

I have no idea what your talking about. Im guessing its inside the passenger fender? Is the vac line broken or is the canister broken?

Re: What the fuck is supposed to be there?

From when i changed it on my expedition, i think its the carbon canister. It is on the passenger side fender, but it the unrecognizable piece of plastic that is left looks like the kind used for the windshield washer fluid tank or coolant storage.

Re: What the fuck is supposed to be there?

So the vac line is broken? Is this the line that comes off the top of the throttle body? If the plastic line is broken you just need to replace it with a rubber one.

No bro, the lines are rubber i think. But its whatever the line dumps to that is missing.

Re: What the heck is supposed to be there?

Watch your language in the thread title...

I already went and changed it...


As for your problem... Did you just try plugging the vacuum line first and see if that changes things? A vacuum leak is never gonna be good news... Besides, you don't need the EGR stuff anyways. It's just recommended. lol

Re: What the heck is supposed to be there?

Rightous Blackcrow, um....you want me to just skip the plastic. I will have a picture up tonight, i forgot my camera at home. Altough i don't think the plastic was an EGR Valve.

Re: What the heck is supposed to be there?

I'm slightly confused about the whole description... I'm thinking a picture will help us a bit more here with helping you out on a solution.

Re: What the heck is supposed to be there?

I don't got one of those... At least I don't remember seeing it when I gutted everything...

Re: What the heck is supposed to be there?

It looks like the Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid. I have searched on a few sites and this is what it seems to be called. You might have to go to the dealer for this part.
