Purge Valve Replacement

What is a canister purge valve?

The purge valve allows stored fuel vapors in the charcoal containment canister to be sent back into the engine to be burned when necessary.

How does the purge valve work?

The purge valve is located in the vacuum line between the fuel vapor containment canister and the intake manifold. It opens at specific times to let fuel vapors stored in the canister be drawn into the intake manifold and burned as part of the combustion process. On most vehicles, the canister purge valve is computer-controlled.

The most common symptom of a defective canister purge valve is an illuminated Check Engine Light triggered by one or more evaporative system codes. Usually, there are no noticeable engine performance symptoms associated with a defective canister purge valve.
