Hey guys
I have a 2007 my08 alloytec ve commodore. Just recently I could hear an audiable ticking noise while the car is idling. It's loud enough to hear with the bonnet down and standing at the drivers door however you can't hear it from inside the cabin
I have investigated the noise and done some research and have narrowed it down to the evaporation purge valve solenoid located passenger side rear of intake manifold. I did some research and some ppl state it's meant to tick but until recently I haven't heard it before. Some people say to check if it's working is to remove the valve and blow in the opposite direction on the air flow. It shouldn't let any air through. My lets air through.
Before I go buy one can people with alloytec tell me if theirs ticks and if you have time remove and blow into the valve to see if it does let it through.
Besides the ticking the car runs fine and doesn't throw any codes.
Thank guys in advance for the help.
