Question
What causes automotive EVAP purge solenoid "sticking open"?
Answer
Carbon buildup and electrical component failure.
Explain
Sticking open solenoids cause rough idle and fuel loss. CHEPQ tools test solenoid resistance (15-30Ω) and inspect for carbon deposits—cleaning or replacing the solenoid restores EVAP system functionality.
