Vacuum leaks

Ryanvilas102 · 01-02-2021, 12:53 AM

Hello I’m not sure if this is the correct thread to post this to but I’m having an issue with tracking down vacuum leaks in my 02 bugeye. And the more I track down lines the more stuff I find that’s missing.. like my purge valve or the “rats nest” has completely been deleted and and the lines have been rerouted or blocked off. So my question is that okay to run like that? Also I wasn’t the one who did it whoever own the car before me did it lol **the motor is a usdm ej205***

Whether this is in the proper forum or not depends on what engine you have in it. If you're running a 2.0 (USDM or JDM) then the EJ 2.0 forum will probably get you more responses but you should get some here as well. You'll just need to include info about which engine and what year that engine is to help narrow down the advice you'll get.

Deleting some of that stuff can be done but it typically has to be tuned for it.

Hey that’s for the response but yeah I just edited it and put the motor in there so everyone know. But yeah it seems to routed properly but I legit just noticed that the purge valve was deleted so I was worried. And when I had gotten it tuned the tuner didn’t say anything about it.
