Description of the problem | Purge valve on a 2015 chevy cruze 1. 4 ecotec turbo with 65,000 miles. Started as a small little ticking noise then its been getting louder. At the time i did not know what was wrong with it, had it looked it by mechanics but the car was not throwing any codes. Told it could have been a lifter... But then the ticking noise just got louder and my car started using more fuel and wasn't running right. My car has tried shutting down (dying) in an intersection, sitting at a stop light also. When driving on the highway and or even city streets feels like the car is cutting in and out. Rpm's are not steady, will bounce from 700 rpm to 400 rpm while sitting still. Rough idle also. The sound continued to get worse now sounds like a marble bouncing around in the valve. Now that i have figured out that it is the purge valve i am buying the purge valve to get it fixed. From the research that i have done this part could have caused an accident due to the car stalling out and or dying on the highway or in a intersection. Pretty sure that what is left of my warranty does not cover this part, i wouldn't think that a car that is only 2 years old and only 65,000 miles on it would have this kind of an issue and this kind of an issue that would not throw a code like a service engine soon light or something. Like i said my car hasn't thrown any codes so it wasn't really the easiest trying to figure out the problem so it could get repaired. |
