The code returns after running the car for 5 or 6 miles. I can make the code come on faster by running at higher RPMs. The only issues that I know of that could cause an error code at this point are: 1. There is plug that is taped to the Mass Airflow Sensor that does not appear to have a female counterpart. 2. No Catalytic Converter. I appreciate the advice.

I have spoke to a few people about the Purge Valve and it's actual function and I have been told that it is minimal. The car really doesn't NEED emmisions but I want to get good gas mileage and it would be nice to fix the issue. Once again, thanks.
