I couldn't find the answer so here I am again.
I'm about 90% sure I have a bad purge valve because I'm getting strong gasoline Vapors in the engine compartment. BUT! 2 Caps or plugs are missing from the top of the canister what can I use /do until I fix the system?
I was thinking in my not so Infinite Wisdom that two pieces of plastic tubing pushed in or over where the Caps would be and vent them Outdoors of the truck. I'm also thinking that the Caps or plugs that are missing make the vapors stay in the canister long enough that they pushed away up into the intake on the throttle body?
I called the local yard for another canister see if I can get one instead of buying new
