Default 3-way under passenger fender

Mine is broken, a couple questions. I searched but could not find.

Is it ok to drive with it broken?

Are there any methods to fix it without getting the original part, like gabbing something from a hardware store?

I will probably just get a new one from Roger, but if it's crucial I will need a temporary fix.

Thanks

If its the purge canister Y pipe then you will be ok untill you fix it. The car will smell like gas if parked in a garage but that's it. You can replace it with anything that fits in those hoses. OEM is not a must.

They all break, you do need it for the air cleaner, you can use brass pex parts from home depot.

Here was a good discussion thread a while back that has lots of details on fixing / replaing one. More than one way to skin a cat. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...eak-fixed.html
