If you tune it out, you will be fine. You WILL have to take the line off of the vent solenoid so your tank can vent and it won't build up pressure.

First of all yesterday I tried to disconnect the battery for 10 mintues then reconnect. The engine light still on. So until today I bought a purge valve soleniod. So I took battery negative off. While I took off the intake cover plastic. Then replace the purge valve soleniod. Put all back together. Then reconncet the battery. Crank up and saw the engine light is gone! IT take me like 10 minutes to replace the purge! That mean I not need get evap soleniod where is behind the back gas tank? Let me know.
