Is it the fuel tank valve thing that bolts to the inlet manifold? I can't make out much in the pics.

ye pics dont really help much, just show the red plug that goes onto it. It has a piece of silicone rubber tubing goin into it. It sounds like its blowing/sucking air. Not sure if this helps. Il have to get better pics if needed.

I just tried getting a pic of mine but the battery is dead in my camera
My engine is the distributor type so may be slightly different, Where you have the arrow pointing is the fuel tank vent vale.
One small pipe comes from the carbon canistor in the O/S wing into the valve, The other pipe goes into the throttle body.

fuel tank vent valve. block the pipe going towards to back of the car off and leave the one coming from the inlet plugged onto it still.
