Symptoms of a Faulty Charcoal Canister Solenoid Valve in a Car

[LeilaniMarie]

When the charcoal canister solenoid valve is damaged, the following symptoms may occur: 1. Abnormal noises during driving: When the engine is running at speeds above 800 RPM (not idling), occasional abnormal noises can be heard. 2. Jerking when accelerating and a strong gasoline smell inside the car: In this case, special attention should be paid to whether the pipes of the charcoal canister system are cracked. If the pipes are cracked, gasoline vapors will directly escape into the atmosphere through the cracks, causing a strong gasoline smell inside the car. 3. Fluctuating idle speed and poor acceleration: After the engine starts, the idle speed fluctuates regularly, and the car experiences poor acceleration. At this time, it is important to check whether the issue is caused by a blockage in the air inlet or filter of the charcoal canister.
