Is this a bad symptom..

hello



i just want to ask if this is something to worry about. If i move that purge valve As shown in picture (Wiggle It) from side to side my engine wants to stall or it revs up the RPMs is this a bad purge valve?

thank you

Re: Is this a bad symptom..

Can't see it well in the photo - I assume it's the purge valve for the fuel? If so, might have a leak, thus causing a vacuum leak, thus the rough engine running when it's "wiggled".
