EVAP Purge Solenoid testing and replacement video

Bless your heart Dave! Calling you next week with a new order. hehe

Excellent video, Dave. Thank You.

I do have a question: I was told by service that there is actually a second purge solenoid valve in the back of the car by the gas tank. Is that true? I assume if that is the case, this one is after an "expansion canister". And I was told that it is also controlled by the ECM. Does it exist? And does it dump to atmosphere?

The reason I ask, is because I had a strong gas smell emanating from my Sky during a local drive up in the Mountains on a hot day. I stopped into service when I got back into town, and the service writer could smell the obvious gas smell as well, but they could not get me in that day. And of course when they did get me in a couple days later, they could not duplicate the problem.

GS Stage 1-
There IS a second purge solenoid valve back by the gas tank, but I'm not sure if it does vent to atmosphere. I will do my best to find out.

Thread bump to say "thank you" to Dave for the video.

As of today, this part is $47 at NAPA and O'Reilly, $18 at Rock Auto, and $13 at Amazon.

Hello Everyone,

We have been getting a lot of calls about this, so we thought we should make a quick little video on how to check and replace the EVAP purge solenoid on the LNF cars. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Here is the link to the video on youtube:
