Hey Everyone,
'91 318is. M42.
So, a while ago I got the 1263 code from the stomp test. This forum led me to think that something's amiss with the 'Fuel Tank Breather Valve' (p/n 13901711395):

Seems to also be called a Purge Solenoid. Here is a RealOEM visual (#19):

Question: Assuming this valve is faulty, couldn't I simply hose it down with throttle body cleaner instead of shelling out $175 for a new one? For some reason, the internet is devoid of info on this. All mentions of it seem to reference its replacement, not its cleaning (which is probably a hint, but fingers crossed!).
Additionally, should I just replace the (more expensive) charcoal canister to help solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!!
