No more smoke!

My RTV spackle may have worked. No smoke. It'll take a few drives to confirm that the CEL isn't going to come back on, or the "loose gas cap" warning. But so far it looks promising.

What are the symptoms of a leak in the j-hose or EVAP system? Does it affect driveability? I think I have tracked down most if not all of the hose / vacuum leaks on my car but havent investigated the j-hose. Thanks

I’ve noticed a slight flutter on idle down from overrun when my evap or cold air door vacuum line has a leak, it’s subtle but noticeable.
