The purge valve here isn't the problem. It's the rubber hose that leads from the throttle body to the purge control valve. It is cracked and split and needs replaced. The dealerships say it is a discontinued part. It is 3/8" at the intake and 1/4" at the connection to the purge valve and is shaped in a 90 degree shape.

Go to HD or Lowe's, to the plumbing dept and you can find adapters of all size and shape. Use some neoprene or flex PVC used for pools and I bet you can make something work. Take the hose with you. Junkyard parts may not be any better.

Get a piece of 1/4" vacuum line for an auto parts store and put in on. the 1/4" rubber will stretch to fit the 3/8" fitting.


Make sure it is 1/4" Rubber vacuum tubing. PVC tubing will dry out and crack in a short time.
