1 Answers
Damaged canister purge valve will significantly increase fuel consumption, and secondly, the engine power will decrease. Symptoms of a damaged valve: If the canister purge valve of a car's activated charcoal canister is damaged, it will prevent the canister from opening and closing properly, directly leading to increased fuel consumption. Under non-idle conditions, you may occasionally hear abnormal noises. When pressing the accelerator to speed up, the vehicle's idle speed will fluctuate, and acceleration will feel sluggish. These are all symptoms of a damaged canister purge valve. Function of the car's charcoal canister: The charcoal canister in a car utilizes the adsorption properties of activated charcoal to collect fuel vapors and prevent waste. The canister purge valve opens when the car starts, releasing the adsorbed fuel vapors into the intake manifold to be burned in the engine.
