evap canister purge solenoid noise - 2/11/2007 2:09:08 PM    lalindst   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/11/2007 Status: offline I noticed a noise in the car that sounded like a lifter tick, however when i reved the car up the noise didnt increase so i ruled that out.  i went under the hood looking for the noise and found it coming from what i think is the evap canister purge solenoid.  its on the passenger side of the car just under the transmission plugs.  it has an elecrical connector and 1vacum line that runs the the canister and one to the throttle body.  when i put my hand on the thing i could feel it tapping.  now it doesent do it all the time but most of the time it ticke.  now is this normal or is there a problem with it?? and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lance Post #: 1

I have a 97 (3.5) and the evap canister purge solenoid is located on a bracket attached to the air cleaner.  Need a bit more info, year, engine, did you trace the hose ends, and any pictures?  If it is the evap canister purge solenoid, it should have the word "top" on the top of it.  It will not operate if installed incorrectly.  After engine warm up, the PCM energizes & de-energizes the solinoid aprox 5-10 times per second, depending on operating conditions.  This rate change is how the PCM varies the vapor flow.  I have never noticed a tick from mine, but maybe mine is not working!
