Default 87 jaguar xj6

I am trying to figure out what sensor is just below the air filter can. That is connected to two hoses.

Series III XJ6? With 4.2 6-cylinder?

There's a cannister purge valve with two hoses and two wires in that area. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Can you post a picture?

Cheers
DD

This valve or sensor is what I'm looking for. I'm not sure what it is

DD will have a better answer.

But, if you follow that hose that goes to the wing wall and look in front of the left front wheel, you will find the cannister that the valve purges.. On/off vacuum from the intake. engine eats the fumes...
