I took it out and cleaned it with WD-40 as suggested. I also hooked to to 12+ volts while it was out and it did work but with not much force. Once it was back in I stated the engine and waited until all the required conditions were met for it to activate, it never did. I then put a LED on the pins and confirmed the ECM is commanding the purge valve. I checked the codes and got nothing. Then I pulled the suction line to the valve and the valve stating pulsing, again not with much force. I am theorizing that the vacuum from the engine is to much for this weak valve to overcome and it cannot open. Although the valve technically works it is to weak to preform its function in the evap system.
When the evap system isn't functioning what happens to the fuel vapor in the charcoal canister?
