BTW the function of this valve is to limit vacuum to that lower chamber of the WUR for about 30 seconds in order to provide further enrichment @ startup.
That’s helpful- the results I was finding were unclear on the duration of its function. I almost never drive the car in temps below 40F, so maybe I can just vent it, and go without. That saves me a couple hundred $$.

Thanks!
