💨 Replacing a Stuck-Open Purge Valve

This car is a money pit to be sure. I have replaced this exact component once before, under exactly the same circumstances. The same set of symtoms: rough idle, RPM guage bouncing around a little, stumbles and shakes like a pathetic little wet rat upon starting for the first time after refueling.

The part functioned for a few years, and here we are again. Luckily it is stupid easy to replace, and apparently dirt cheap on Amazon. I paid something like 50 USD for this part only for it to fail after a couple of years. I shudder to think how long a $15 part will last…

I replaced it, let us see how long it lasts…

Done.
