Purge Control system without solenoid
I dont mean to bring up a topic which has been thoroughly discussed. This specific issue seems to be absent when searched.
My harness is modified for a single turbo and with that the purge control has been eliminated. I don't want to just vent the gas tank and deal with the smell, even if its at the tail end of the car. I just plan to leave the purge control system connected without the solenoid working. I know this may cause some interesting start up issues since the vapors build up in the manifold but my question is how bad is it? Will it be a problem if the car is sitting for months, heat, etc?
In a nutshell, who here is running the purge control system without the rack solenoid functioning and what is the result?
Thanks

No, I removed the entire line all the way back to the charcoal canister.
heres a some info I found online.
A charcoal canister is part of the evaporative emission control (EVAP) system in many modern automobiles, which is designed to keep gasoline from evaporating into the atmosphere. Rather than venting a gas tank to the atmosphere, an EVAP system can allow fumes to flow into a canister that contains activated carbon and is therefore capable of adsorbing the fuel vapor. This process, coupled with the closed fuel system, can help ensure that a minimal amount of fuel vapor is allowed to reach the atmosphere.

I eliminated the valve and want to just run the line to the uim. I am just not sure wat ill side effects will happen by doin so lol . Lets say the sits for a few month, wouldnt the gas vapors cause a serious ignition when the motor starts? I know the charcoal canister ill eliminate some vapors but i dont know id it will be enough.

Nice, I did see that thread. It seems that what you said is the best option. I will go ahead and run the line from the charcoal canister to the UIM with the check valve. If anything weird happens ill be sure to let this thread know lol.
I am curious though if my idle will richen up a lot even the charcoal canisters; especially on hot days.
