Dont know what its called
Just checking to see if anyone can tell me what the plastic piece is thats one the fire wall just above and to the left of the brake booster. It has 2 hoses going to it on one side and electric connection on the other. Sounds like there's air going to it cause it seems like I have an air leak coming from it. Thank you

Here's a pic of it. its a 5.4 4wd. didnt adjust the pic but if you turn the picture counter clockwise thats how it sits. the brake booster is just below it to the right. those 2 hoses on the left of that thing are going to the back of the engine. and it sounds like i got air leaking from it.

EVAP Canister purge valve
NOTE: The EVAP canister purge valve may also be referred to as a vapor management valve (VMV).
The EVAP canister purge valve is part of the enhanced EVAP system that is controlled by the PCM. This valve controls the flow of vapors (purging) from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold during various engine operating modes. The EVAP canister purge valve is a normally closed valve. The electronic EVAP canister purge valve controls the flow of vapors electronically by way of a solenoid thereby, eliminating the need for an electronic vacuum regulator and vacuum diaphragm. The PCM outputs a signal between 0% and 100% duty cycle to control the EVAP canister purge valve. On applications with an electronic EVAP canister purge valve, the PCM outputs a signal between 0 mA and 1,000 mA to control the solenoid.

Thank you very much. That is awsome. They're right though. I think this place can be better then going to a shop. Plus you learn more yourself. Thanks again. And that seems like its leaking. I hear air coming from that area and when I cover it with my hand the air muffles.
