Thats from 2 diffrent friends, both own their own shops who both said when they checked my car out after purchase DON'T DO IT without me even mentioning and it can/will gel in internal engine passages.

OK. i decided to just pop the hood the in line check valve i ghetto repaired using electrical tape was lookin bleak and sorta collapsed.....so i pulled it of to check er out. there is NO valve. it just looks like a fitting. the whole gate is missing. there might as well just be a straight peice of vac line in there......UGH! what would that screw up... pull codes i know i know. but i cant until the OBD comes in. ordered it yesterday. would that make my car sound like it is. when i pull the valve (or what left of it ) completely out the car sputters and barely runs. when i put it back in the car idles fine. but when revved up coughs hard. check valve just ordered from ecs. but im scared it wont fix it. any idea????

Inline check valve?[&:] If ur cars got a vaccum leak then yes that can cause it by changing ur cars ability to put the proper amount of air in the combustion chamber as the computer can only adjust so far, it may be able to balance it out at idle so it won't lump much depending on where the leak is and how bad but when u need power if its a severe leak ur A/F is off and ur not gonna get power. I have no idea what you mean by inline valve.
