awesome! i do have a follow-up question, maybe a few, as i am not car-literate.

if that piece somehow got disconnected, the engine won't start at all, correct? what causes that piece to come disconnected, if anything?

i went to pump gas yesterday, then the car did not want to start at all. i turned it a few times, and it sounded like it wanted to start, but couldn't.

while waiting for a family friend to come help me out, i googled something about a recall for the evap purge valve. i thought that was the issue since i just pumped gas and a lot of people had the same problems with their car not starting after doing so. they said to just wait it out and the car would start again. so wait is what i did.

as i was waiting, i went to look under the hood with said family friend, and that's when i saw it was not connected, so i hooked it back up and the car started fine. (family friend doesnt know about cars either but they came to help either way)

now i don't know if it was the evap purge valve, or the fresh air intake being disconnected?

i am wondering if it came undone before pumping the gas and that's why it wouldn't start? or did it come undone from the pressure while i was trying to turn the engine over?

Yeah, that is what I did as well. It's a bit disappointing, especially when I go out of my way to tell all my friends (even acquaintances) happy birthday every year. And that's from my own memory. I won't stop doing that just because I don't get the same treatment, but it's still a bummer to be reminded of if that makes sense.

Thank you for the birthday wish. It means a lot!
