A solenoid is a type of magnetic switch responsible for helping your starter motor turn on the engine. When the solenoid sticks, the ignition struggles to start. When this happens, usually your key will "catch" in when you turn it to start the vehicle.

How do you fix evap Purge Solenoid that is stuck open or closed?

To fix an EVAP purge solenoid that is stuck open or closed, first, inspect the solenoid for any visible damage or debris and clean or replace it if necessary. Check the electrical connections and wiring for corrosion or breaks, as these can affect solenoid operation. If the solenoid is electrically functional but still stuck, consider applying a small amount of penetrating oil to free it up. If the problem persists, replacing the solenoid may be the best solution.
