So what exactly should I do?......It doesn't seem to be causing any problems... Will it eventually?

Have the code cleared and wait to see if it come back. I had that code once, I cleared and it never came back. If it does come back, start by checking the vacuum lines to the purge valve. They rot over time.

Same thing happened to me, here is the fix!! >> http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...443&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

Not only was my valve clogged with tiny bits of charcoal my actual charcoal canister was bad, they initially did a smoke test at ford and it was the valve, then a tiny piece of charcoal from the canister ruined the new valve so I had to replace the canister as well, ford didn't charge me for a SECOND valve.
