Yes the unit can still be bad if the fuse is good. If it has a black top then it is original/old. Red top is a newer one but they can still fail.

As for cleaning the valve, it works only part of the time, sometimes the unit just needs to be replaced. Feel free to spray carb cleaner all over the inside. I usually put my finger over one of the hose connections, fill halfway with cleaner, cover other end and shake it for a while, then drain/repeat. Wear gloves...

You been so helpfully thanks once again!!!!!! I just checked vac. lines but notice the wires going to sensors upper part of the engine are brittle and seen some of the connection to the prongs were not good.
