It's probably due for a change since you did a diesel purge, and this was it's ruled out as a problem.

After completing the DP i did change the spin on becuase I figured it would need it. I haven't even driving 600 miles since I changed it. It doesn't cost much so I might do it anyway. The car was siting for about a year before I purchased it. The po would drive it once a month and before that the po wife (her car) drove it for about 10 years = no italian tune up.
