Services Performed
- Vehicle has a code for EVAP Purge Valve Control. Removed the line for the Purge Solenoid and can blow through it and that should not be possible. Fuel vapor, when filling the tank, is pushing into the Purge Valve line through the stuck open Purge Valve and filling the Intake Manifold with fuel vapor. This explains why the vehicle becomes hard to start after a fuel fill up. Pushing down the gas pedal allows more air to enter through the throttle body and helps with the overly rich air/fuel mixture. We recommend replacing the Purge Valve Assembly.
- Technician did not note any unusual smell in the interior of the vehicle coming from the dash area. Front tires are below the legal minimum and are down to 1mm. Rear tires are at 4mm. Tires are from 2022. Due to the large discrepancy in tread wear present if only two tires are replaced, we would recommend replacing all four to help the vehicle handle as safely as possible in emergency situations.
