How do you fix the Evaporation Ventilation Solenoid on a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Answer 1

evap solenoids on any vehicle should be replaced. they are made of britle materials and will normally be damaged when disassembled. if you are getting a (dtc) check engine light for an evap leak try checking the fuel filler neck-fuel cap for leaks. tracing the fuel lines from the gas tank, there are two lines for fuel injection systems. the feed line and the return line connect to the fuel rail and the fuel psi regulator. at the gas tank the fuel lines should be beside a nylon tube connecting to your evap system, which releases fumes from the gas tank to the intake manifold to be recycled for lower emissions. check for cracks or leaks in this section of the system. this nylon line holds one psi of fuel fumes. the evap senser monitors psi and sends a signal to the solenoid to release the fumes to the engine. these sensers and solenoids are usually vacuum and electronicaly operated and located by the left rear of the engine compartment. also try searching for cracked or dislocated vacuum lines. bepending on what motor option you'll be working with i highly suggest finding a haynes or chilton's manual of your specific vehicle. these manuals have tips for troubles, componant locators, electrical diagrams, as well as vacuum diagrams.
