I have heard of folks running without it plugged in, not sure if it is a big deal or not. I am sure tree huggers would say its bad for the trees.
I had mine replaced twice within the 100K mileage wty but after that, now having 140K plus I am sure its probably due again as i get more smoke at starts, more smoke than i used to, and rough at times when starting with small amounts of surging at times, very miniscule but noticable to a sensative person, wife says I don't notice it.
I tried without success to remove it to see how dirty it was. Not sure of a way of getting it out without breaking something. It seems to be really stuck in there and no good way of getting a hold of it to remove. Is there a trick to getting it out?
One of the times when it was really bad and Ford could not get me into the dealership to replace it as they were on Back Order, they unoffically unplugged it to get me by until they could get the part.
