How to clean purge valve

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. Cleaning the purge valve on your Grand Prix can help if it's clogged and causing issues like rough idling or poor fuel economy. The purge valve is part of your car's EVAP system, which controls fuel vapors. To clean it, you'll first want to locate the valve—usually found near the engine or the fuel tank. Disconnect the electrical connector and the hoses. Then, you can use a can of carburetor cleaner or mass air flow sensor cleaner to spray inside the valve, ensuring it's free of debris. After cleaning, reattach everything and see if it resolves the issue. If the valve is still causing problems, it might need to be replaced. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
