What are the symptoms of a faulty carbon canister solenoid valve in the Mazda6?

If the solenoid valve is damaged, it will cause abnormal engine shaking and the engine fault light on the dashboard will also illuminate. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately visit a 4S shop or a professional repair facility for maintenance, otherwise more serious faults may occur. Below is additional information: Mazda6: The Mazda6 is a mid-size sedan under the Mazda brand. The dimensions of this car are 4670 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1435 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675 mm. The Mazda6 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.3-liter naturally aspirated engine.
Last year, I experienced a faulty purge valve with my old Mazda6. The most noticeable symptom was a sudden spike in fuel consumption – my city driving was burning as much gas as highway mileage. During cold starts, the engine shook violently, and even after warming up, the idle remained unstable with the RPM gauge bouncing at red lights. The most annoying part was the frequent gasoline smell, especially strong near the rear after turning off the engine. Once at a gas station, an attendant even warned me about a hissing air leak near the fuel cap. These symptoms developed gradually, starting with just minor idle instability before worsening. I’d recommend getting it checked early if these issues arise – it affects driving safety and wastes fuel money.
