Default unplugged butterflies ok?

I have the JG victor x IM, is it ok to leave the vacuum hoses which control the secondary butterflies unplugged from the manifold?

leave the solenoid hooked up to the wiring harness and just run a short rubber vacuum line between the input and output so there is no crud getting in there just incase you wanna hook it up some day. or you can remove the solenoid altogether if you replace it with the appropriate resistor.

...yeah you can leave it unplugged..the vacuum hoses unplugged. dont disconnect it from the wiring harness though.

you can call it a purge valve if you want.

Actually, you shouldn't get a cel if you disconnect the connector. I never have in the past at least.

you can unplug it and loop the remaining vaccum lines out of the IAB box...( the black plastic box)

I left the somlenoid unplugged and took the IAm box out too..

No cel
