Well long story short I was doing something in my engine bay Pulling something off and i slipped and broke the little plastic peice that connects to the Hoses. It says its the Fuel Perge tank but what is it and what does it do, Does this mean I need to buy a new one now?

Sounds like the purge line for the vapour canister. One line to the fuel tank, and vacuum and purge lines to the inlet manifold. The canister contains activated carbon, stores fuel vapour from the tank, and releases it into the inlet manifold when the motor is under light load.

So - if you broke the connection to the tank, you will end up with fuel vapour in the engine bay (bad), if you broke the purge line or vacuum line to the inlet manifold you will have an air leak and run the motor lean (worse).

Yes - replace it.

Well I Tried to fix it with superglue works *sorta when I start getting to speeds over 100 its start to run really bad and makes lots of noise.

Ill try and track one down but I hear they are hard to come by.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
