Hi all, I've got an LS376, and I'm trying to figure out if the EVAP solenoid is needed and if not, can i block off the vent on the Driver side Intake behind the Throttle body?
The person who installed the engine did not know what he was doing. He had a vacuum hose connecting from the driver side hole on the Intake, to the Fuel pressure regulator. I know this is incorrect because the LS guide says Not to vacuum reference the fuel regulator.
In the pictures I find, It looks like the EVAP solenoid connects to that hole on the driver side intake. Is that correct? If it don't have an EVAP, can i just plug that hole in the driver side intake?
Also, I intend on installing a PCV catch can. Currently, the aforementioned inept mechanic, left the Passenger side PCV Fresh air tube Open to air, and plugged the hole in the air intake tube where I believe it was supposed to be hooked into. My question is, Is this a problem? is it important that the fresh air PCV tube on the valve cover receive Metered Air?
Thank you.
