What does a purge valve do?
The purge valve is an essential part of your vehicle's evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal canister to the engine for burning, instead of releasing them into the air. This process not only helps reduce emissions but also improves fuel efficiency. When the purge valve is functioning correctly, your vehicle runs cleaner and more efficiently.
Properly functioning purge valve helps to reduce the release of harmful fuel vapors into the atmosphere, so if you notice following symptoms, time to call Toole’s Garage to bring your vehicle in for a checkup:
- Check Engine Light: One of the most common indicators of a faulty purge valve is the activation of the "Check Engine" light. Many issues can trigger this, but malfunctioning purge valves are a frequent cause.
- Difficulty Starting: If your vehicle has trouble starting, it may be due to a faulty purge valve.
- Rough Idling: Your vehicle may idle roughly or stall if the purge valve is stuck open or closed. This can cause noticeable shaking or vibrations when the car is at a standstill.
- Poor Fuel Efficiency: A faulty purge valve can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, resulting in higher gasoline costs.
