PURGE VALVE REPAIR

The purge valve is a part of your vehicle’s evaporative emission control system, also known as the evap system. The purge valve’s job is to trap the fuel vapors in your tank and make them stay in the tank. Purge valves operate in partnership with a solenoid. If the solenoid malfunctions, staying open or closed, it can cause the purge valve to malfunction.

If your purge valve malfunctions, your check engine light may come on. Common signs of a failing purge valve include poor fuel economy and engine performance issues. If any of these events are occurring, bring your vehicle to Tedious Repairs today!

Your vehicle’s purge valve needs to operate with other devices to function correctly. The canister solenoid helps trap gas particles in the fuel tank. Is it more common that the solenoid would malfunction before the purge valve? These two go hand and hand and need to be replaced together.
