Hello,

 

 

After I drive for 40 minutes or more CEL turns on. I read the codes and it was purge control solenoid problem, which is quite common problem. I checked the solenoid's resistance which was Ok (48om), connected the solenoid to the battery and it clicked. Does it mean the solenoid work? If it does what else can make CEL turn on?

I didn't notice any difference in car performance with CEL on or off, but I do have hard starts if i dont use the car for a while and little iddle problems (vibrations).

 

Sorry for my poor english.

The canister purge solenoid can intermittantly mess up, and cause the CEL to be illuminated. I drove across country, my CEL would pop on and off for a state or two.

 

I'd recommend just replacing it.

 

If the solenoid sticks open, it can cause poor idle issues, but other then that, it shouldn't be a big deal
