Another Tighten Gas Cap Question
Can the purge valve solenoid fail without a code being generated?

Maybe a stupid question, but what if you do not replace the purge valve and still get the tighten gas cap message forever? Will not replacing the purge valve hurt the car?

thank you

I mean if $100 is worth the annoyance of it sure. I don't think it will hurt anything. Maybe gas mileage would be affected, not 100% sure though.
