I think you may be refering to the solenoid / purge valve for the EVAP system. The other pipe from this valve goes to the carbon canister inside the inner wing. If there is a leak, or the valve isn't working properly, it can cause idling/ running problems. It may show a fault code for this, if you have access to a code reader / scan tool ?
Also, may be worth checking the rest of the pipe work relating to the EVAP system, & maybe the carbon canister for leaks. I think you may need to remove the wheel & the plastic arch liner to get to it ? You may also be able to smell petrol fumes if it's leaking anywhere in the system ?
