Does anyone know what this is?

this piece is connected to a vacuum line. I checked the line it has suction but the wires on the part are arcing and when it arcs it shuts the motor off. I need to know what this part is so that i know what part to tell them i need. thank you for any help in this matter.

It's the purge solenoid for the EVAP system. It opens at idle and while cruising to evacuate the charcoal cannister (part of the venting system for the gas tank).

One side of the solenoid will have constant power and the other will have a modulated (via the EEC) ground.

Yep common problem. Best fix is to re pin the connector tape dissent hold up long on it. I chased this problem for about 2 weeks about 4 years ago

what kind of symptoms did you notice from that? the only reason i found it was cause i was checking the tranny fluid and it arced on the dipstick.

Hit a bump and the car would cut off.

Coincidence or what?

Is this what my unidentifiable connector connects to in my other thread?
