- A key component within your vehicle's EVAP system
- Traps hazardous vapors from your fuel tank
- Repurposes hazardous vapors as fuel for your engine
A Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid is one of many essential components that helps to make up your evaporative emission control system — also known as the EVAP. Most modern vehicles come equipped with an EVAP, and this system's primary role is to assist with reducing potential pollution caused by emissions from the fuel tank.
These fuel tank emissions are released in vapor form and then they are seized and captured by a charcoal canister, (the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid) in the EVAP. Once captured, these vapors are then stowed away as additional fuel for your Nissan's engine. Essentially, your Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid aids the EVAP system in protecting against any unnecessary pollution, health concerns, and so much more.
A Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid can wear out over extended periods of time or become stuck in an open or closed position. If this component gets stuck, the toxic vapors that the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid is intended to capture and repurpose are not controlled properly, which can cause a few different problems.
If your Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid gets stuck or no longer functions the way it's supposed to, you might experience a few symptoms: diminished engine performance, starting problems, the check engine light may come on, rough idling due to a vacuum leak, and poor fuel efficiency. Plus, a failing Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid can negatively affect the outcome of an emissions inspection.
Your Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid is responsible for trapping and managing dangerous emissions, and buying the wrong replacement part can put you, your passengers, your vehicle, and the environment at risk. Ensure that you get one made for your specific Nissan by ordering an authentic OEM Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid from Nissan Parts.
