Need help
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2001 1:49 pm
Thanks Rod,
I'm pretty sure I've NOW found the part that you are talking about!! That is
definitely not the part I replace and would explain why my engine light is
still on. Now I have one question for you. How the hell do you change the
Purge Solenoid Valve?????? "It's a bitch to get to" is an understatement!! I
don't know where to start!
Help
Fred

Fred,
it sounds like you have changed the auxillary purge control valve.
Yhe purge control solenoid valve has a vacuum hose going to and from with an
electrical connection. It sits underneath the inlet manifold (left side
looking at the engine from the front of the car)
Follow the line from the charcoal canister, one goes to the aux purge valve,
one from the fuel tank and the third goes to the solenoid purge valve.
cheers, Rod ....in OZ
ps its a bitch to get to......
