Solenoid pulsing at idle makes a fast ticking sound. Sounds like dodgy injectors.
I still maintain it should not operate at idle!

My sv6 does the exact same, the holden techs may say its normal, but if was buying a brand new vz sv6 at the time, I would question/even not buy it!

My 08/06 VZ is running rough as I have had it only three weeks. I already found one rubber hose stuffed, so I am going get the kit of all the hose's then check the plugs and cables then jets. I have already fixed the water leaks I think i fixed the power train fault, now going to work on the rough running engine. I'm on a runner guys.

My chevrolet Lumina S i.e. Holden SV6 does the same, at the time of idle it start clicking. I don't know whether it is fine for has some problem. In cross reference, i checked in chevrolet cruse engine, that was also doing the same clicking sound at idle. In my car Even i checked the vacuum leaks but nothing found even i made vacuum across EVAP solenoid and it is fine. But there is finding if i temporarily disconnect power connector from EVAP then engine get smooth in engine was running rough. So, the problem is somewhere in EVAP system.
Please someone help with proper solution.

Was it the evap solenoid in the end?lol
Mines clicking now an slight rough idle,
I had the solenoid out today an blew in it,it doesn't blow through,
Does that mean the solenoid is working?
I can't see any leaks,
The small hose on the manifold coming from solenoid is clicking too,
I can hear/feel it,
Wonder should I just buy another solenoid, See if that's fixes the clicking an rough idle,
I've done lots of other things

Just do it. $50 and you will answer your own question one way or another. I replaced mine, it kept ticking for a few weeks then the ticking stopped and now it's quiet. Who knows.

Mine runs perfect (VE) LEO.
Make sure you run one of the good full synthetic oils because they smoke less so don't fill your pcv up with so much smoke and **** like cheaper oils. You can't get a bigger PCV valve that I'm aware of, you just drill the hole out a bit bigger to let the vapours out quicker. The size of the hole is the important thing.
