A canister vent valve that&rsquo;s stuck open will draw in too much air upon starting the engine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiring a professional to replace a faulty canister purge valve solenoid can cost you anywhere between $150 to $300.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Since the early 1970s, all production vehicles have been fitted with an evaporative emission control (EVAP) system. The technology prevents harmful fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere by trapping then purging the vapors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the primary components within the EVAP system is the canister purge valve (often referred to as the canister purge valve solenoid on modern vehicles). Although the purge valve is designed to last the life of the vehicle, that doesn&rsquo;t always happen. If the purge valve fails, your car will likely exhibit one or more noticeable symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Canister Purge Valve Solenoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand the purge valve, it helps to know how the EVAP system works. As was mentioned, the EVAP system prevents fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere. The system does this by trapping the vapors in a charcoal canister, then &ldquo;purging&rdquo; the vapors into the engine when conditions are correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"Purge Valve in Isolated Background\" class=\"wp-image-40167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-1536x994.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Purge-Valve-in-Isolated-Background.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the primary components within the EVAP system is the canister purge valve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the engine is off, fuel vapors from the gas tank are stored in the canister. The canister contains activated charcoal, which traps the vapors until the engine is running and conditions are correct for a vapor purge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, the charcoal canister is open to the atmosphere to allow fresh air to enter. But on modern vehicles, the engine computer, which is often referred to as the powertrain control module (PCM), closes the charcoal canister when testing the integrity of the EVAP system. The PCM operates a vent valve solenoid to open and close the canister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM also determines when to initiate a canister purge. When the module deems conditions are correct, it commands a solenoid to open the purge valve. The solenoid is typically integrated with the valve, which is why the valve is often referred to as a canister purge valve solenoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening the purge valve creates a vacuum that pulls fresh air through the vapor canister.
