Wells 2M1079 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid EVAP System Replacement

The Wells 2M1079 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid is a direct-fit OE replacement component for your vehicle's evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. Also referred to as a purge valve solenoid or EVAP purge valve, this solenoid controls the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal vapor canister into the engine's intake stream, where they are burned in the combustion chamber rather than released into the atmosphere.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) opens and closes the solenoid at precise intervals based on operating conditions, helping to reduce harmful emissions and improve overall fuel efficiency. A failed or clogged purge solenoid can result in a rich-running condition, poor fuel economy, elevated hydrocarbon levels, a failed emissions test, or an illuminated Check Engine Light (CEL).

Key Features:

• Engineered and tested to match OE parts in fit, form, and function
• Compatible with both domestic and imported vehicle applications
• Includes OE-style brackets, hardware, and electrical connectors where applicable
• Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications
• Helps restore proper EVAP system operation and prevent emissions test failure
• Manufactured by Wells Vehicle Electronics, a trusted leader in automotive vehicle electronics

The purge solenoid is typically located under the hood near the intake manifold, though placement may vary by engine design. This solenoid is sold as a single unit (1 pack) and is designed for straightforward installation as a replacement for a worn or malfunctioning purge valve.
