The charcoal canister solenoid valve should be replaced every four years or after driving 60,000 kilometers. Symptoms of damage include: 1. Abnormal noises when driving, such as a clicking sound when not idling; 2. Increased fuel consumption and a strong gasoline smell inside the car; 3. Difficulty starting the engine, frequent stalling, requiring a second ignition, and the engine easily stalling again after starting; 4. Fluctuating idle speed and poor acceleration. To determine if the charcoal canister solenoid valve is damaged: 1. Disconnect the hose from the charcoal canister solenoid valve and wait for the solenoid valve to operate; 2. Cover part of the solenoid valve with your hand to feel if it is drawing in air; 3. If it does not draw in air, the solenoid valve is damaged.
