tde720 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have a 1992 subaru legacy 2.2L and need to find the evap canister purge valve to replace it. HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The ones I've seen are bolted under the number 3 intake manifold runner. That may not be true for an OBD1 car, but its easy enough to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 don't some have it on top of the canister in the rear fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There is a solenoid on the firewall as well as one under the intake. Follow the line from the charcoal canister. The canister under the trunk is in later models, but the solenoid is still on the intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) 1st gen Legacy (1990-94) - the purge control solenoid is under the intake manifold on right side of car (in between the intake & block) - kind of a pain in the backside to get to, but it can be done. I can get you a pic if you need one... are you sure the solenoid itself needs to be replaced? could just be a bad vacuum line - they tend to get very hard, and prone to cracking due to heat in that area...

tde720 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 its not the solenoid its the valve with three outlets. two on opposite sides one in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 its not the solenoid its the valve with three outlets. two on opposite sides one in the middle. If you know what it looks like, why can't you find it? Why do you think it needs replaced? In a 92 legacy the evap should be controled by the solenoid under the intake. I can't think of any other "valves" other than maybe the rollover one way valve back up above the gas tank in the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
