I had a vacuum hose rot off with 8" of hose hanging off of a electrically controlled (I assume so, because it has an electrical connector) valve teed into the PCV valve on the passenger side valve cover. I found it because smoke started billowing out of the hood - turns out the hose rotted off and dropped onto the header. I'm having trouble finding where the other end goes. I think it goes to the charcoal canister on the passenger frame rail below/beside the battery. So - here's my question. Am I assuming correctly? Is that the charcoal canister beside the battery? Is that the purge valve teed into the PCV valve?
And more importantly, will I have negative issues if I cap off the purge valve? I rarely use the truck, it sits in the driveway until I need to haul something. I'm not concerned with fuel economy - I maybe drive it a thousand miles a year.
