Hi Guys, I was wondering if any one out their can tell me where the Purge Valve gets connected to as mine has been disconnected?

This Valve has three connections to it. 1. to the Charcoal canister, 2. To the Fuel Distributor and 3. I would gess to a vacuum line some where.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Chris

PS: how do you inseat a picture into this forum?

I'd have to look later for exactly where it goes, but the small control line goes to a manifold vacuum source. It's shown on pgs. 102-103 in the (US) Haynes.

For the pic posting, upload the pic to some webspace, then enter "[IMG]" followed by the link to the pic with no spaces, then "[/IMG]" like this -

Here's the result with it entered correctly -

You can right-click somewhere on the post and click "view source" (in MS IE) to see the html code.

Ok lets see now, the following is what I can work out from the Haynes man:

10 comes from the air cleaner to the Charcoal Can. (My car has no pipe here)
15 is the Vac from after the throtle body? (MIA)
13 is the ECC control Valve (Purge Vavle?) which has a "T" junction which goes to the Charcoal can and fuel tank. But the other connection goes where? it's only connection not numbered..!@$%^ dam it, it looks like on the picture it's going to the inlet manifold or is that the line that goes to the fuel distributor?

Oh dear I think I've gone cross eyed try'in to work this one out....

Help

#15 is the small control line to the throttle body - it eventually attaches to the side and directly adjacent to the pivot point of the throttle valve (aka butterfly valve, whatever..), but midway along, before it gets there, it goes to what's apparently a small water temperature controlled valve that's located just to the left and below the ignition coil (as viewed from the front-top of the engine).
13 is the purge valve. 14's a check valve that allows flow only from tank to char can (right-to-left).
That other line off the top of #13 is one of the larger lines. It attaches to the bottom of the air metering unit (aka fuel distributor).

OK Cool thanks guys, I'll check this all out and see what I find. But I had a quick look at the Carcoal Can and mine only has two connections on it ??? 1st to the "T" junction and Purge Valve and 2nd to the open air.

I'm on a plane now and wont get a look until the weekend.

Once again thanks for you input.
