Motorad EVP1496 Canister Purge Valve EVAP Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid

The Motorad EVP1496 Canister Purge Valve (also called a vapor canister purge solenoid or EVAP purge valve) is part of the evaporative emissions system. It controls the flow of stored fuel vapors from the charcoal canister to the engine, where they are burned during combustion instead of escaping into the atmosphere.

Key Features:

• Uses electromagnetic operation to meter fuel vapor flow from the carbon canister to the engine
• Helps maintain the correct air-fuel mixture and supports emissions compliance
• Housing made of plastic and metal, built to resist fuel vapors and extreme temperatures
• Built to meet or exceed OEM specifications
• Black finish, with a specific-fit design

Specifications:

• Overall length: 4.76 in (120.90 mm)
• Overall width: 2.32 in (58.93 mm)
• Overall height: 4.57 in (116.08 mm)
• Ports: 2 (port 1 outside diameter 0.46 in / 11.68 mm; port 2 outside diameter 0.38 in / 9.65 mm)
• Electrical connector: 1 square female connector with 2 male blade terminals
• Quick-connect fittings: 0
• Mounting holes: 2 (mounting hardware not included)

A failing purge valve can stick open or closed. This can cause rough idle, hard starting, fuel trim issues, and a check engine light. Replacing it helps restore proper EVAP system operation.
