What are the symptoms of a faulty canister purge valve?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty canister purge valve are as follows: 1. The fuel nozzle shuts off prematurely during refueling, or there is a gas ejection when opening the fuel tank cap; 2. Fuel vapor or dripping fuel is observed at the canister's atmospheric vent; or upon removing the canister, it is found to be filled with gasoline. 3. Poor acceleration, jerking movements, and unstable idle speed that fluctuates up and down; 4. Engine stalling and failure to start, accompanied by unusual noises while driving. 5. When disconnecting the oil tank's pipe, one can feel intermittent suction at the canister's connection port, with a frequency of about two to three times per second; if there is no suction, it indicates that the canister purge valve is stuck in the closed position. 6. Unplugging the canister purge valve's connector: if the suction stops, the valve is functioning normally; if suction persists, it means the valve is stuck in the open position.
