EMERGENCY!! Fuel System help! I was removing my FRC's and I noticed that I broke a piece off of a fuel system piece. Its the little black canister looking piece right next to the 1st injector on the drivers side. The fuel lines run into it, and a hose comes out of the front of the intake manifold and runs into it. Does anyone know what it is called, so I can order one? I need to get this done ASAP. Im assuming that if I start the car, or try to drive it, that fuel will spit out everywhere. Any help would be great. Thanks!
If it has a 2-pin electrical connector on it, it's your evap system purge valve.
If you cracked the housing or otherwise have damaged it, don't run the engine. It manages fuel vapors from the tank, and will vent them into your engine compartment.

Does anyone know if fuel is going to come out of there, or if it will cause a flammable situation at all? I just need to go a few miles to the dealer, and back. Probably 10-12 miles total. Thanks!
