with the top snapped off (they snap together) you would have a pretty big vac leak which would make starting hard and idling even harder.

icemark do you know if the valve is one way? or will it allow boost into the oil pan?
edit: werid it appears it doesn't suck at idle either. only after 2000rpm.

just plug the 3 lines and it should start and run just fine.... just don't drive like that till you put it back together.
if it doesn't start isn't not your problem
bump for my Q

2nd "hater" says to block the lines to prevent the vac leak. at which point try starting again. if it starts then that's your problem. if it doesn't start. you still have another problem.

I would suspect that it would not allow boost into the pan/lower end of the motor.

As a new member, you are getting off on the wrong foot. What is a "hater"? You're not a **** activist are you? People were genuinely trying to help you and you call them "hater". Christ kid, grow up.
A FSM is available for free that you can see what a PURGE CONTROL VALVE" is. That routes into your intake and if it is cracked, one can assume it will cause a HUGE vaccum leak and make it hard to idle or start if it's big enough. As people mentioned, it is not required for the car to run. Many many people run without it , I for one . It's part of emmisions and when properly capped, you can get rid of it.

A Purge Valve WILL NOT allow boost pressure into the pan. There. Done did my good deed for the day. Please see you local fsm for the reason the above is TRUE.
By the way......nah, I'm not going to say what I was about to say about two small vac lines causing a engine not to start. It's tooooo cruel.

You have one vacuum line on the Purge Valve. The other two are NOT vacuum sources. (EDIT:Well, at least not all the time. The small one on the bottom is a vac hose that is blocked off until the one on top sucks) They are delivery pipes/hoses. The Purge Valve has a diaphram that seperates the lower two hose from each other. There is a spring with the diaphram. The top hose sucks at times. When it does it forces the diaphram up against the spring force and then lets the lower two hose join together so to speak. NO vacuum....the spring slams dunks the diaphram down and closes the lower two hose off from each other.
Note: There ain't no vacuum when boosting .....so in what condition is the diaphram and spring in now? Yes, that's right. Hopefully a jpg will be attached with this post. That all depends on this site.
When you get right down to it, the car in question really only had two very small vacuum leak. It's really hard to believe that would keep a engine from starting. But....seeing is believing.
THIS WAS HEAVILY EDITED AFTER I FIRST TYPED IT. Sorta a oooops thing.

ah sweet. I think mine's going back in then.
what was confusing me was the black arrow into the TID under "hard load".
my best guess was under boost, the purge let boost into the pan which then escaped into the TID along the black arrow through that check vavle (since it only opens under pan pressure?)
maybe that is just a backup incause the purge diphram fails or something?
do you think it's safe to run the purge valve with the other one blocked off?

As you probably figured out with all the editing in the above post...I am no expert. But, while my head is swelled up, I'd say you NEED that check valve to some degree. Say your at boost. Then the Purge Valve can't purge the vapors/pressure that might be in the crank case. I think the whole purpose of the checkvalve is during boost conditions when it's not possible for the fumes/pressure to pass thru the Purge Valve. In that situation the fumes/pressure must go thru the checkvalve into the inlet duct. Yep. That must be the way. Oh, the word safe was brought up. Errrr, ahhh, I'd say at least vent to atmosphere if not using the check valve.

Does that sound right to you?

****, it's been awhile since I yanked out the emissions crap. Looking at the FSM I think it goes to the charcoal canister. There should be a large metal nipple facing the front under the solenoids. I know THAT attaches to the intermediate housing.
