how does it work? it passes vapor through a carbon canister and it sucks it into the engine at pre determined conditions right?
How is it all plumbed up? Im trying to find a vapor leak. I know it goes from tank -> through a check valve, into carbon canister, then it comes back out and has a solenoid - after that where is it supposed to go? |

its connected to the throttle body usualy on the side or on the manifold towards the engine side.

Thanks mate. Turns out on a BA it has the vacuum tree at the back of the BBM - this has connections for fuel reg, BBM and brake booster. Under the throttle body on the engine side of the it has a little barb with connections for the PCV valve and the carbon canister. EF/EL might be similar. |

The purge solenoid does not operate at idle. The ECU activates the solenoid when the engine is at steady rpm cruising speed under light load conditions. Cheers..
