To check the purge flow on a 2004 PT Cruiser, first locate the purge solenoid, which is typically found near the engine or on the intake manifold. With the engine running, disconnect the purge line from the solenoid and use a vacuum gauge to measure the vacuum pressure while the engine is at idle. If there's no or insufficient vacuum, the solenoid may be malfunctioning. Additionally, you can check for any leaks in the vacuum lines or inspect the solenoid for proper operation.
