In this video we show how to identify ONE possible source of annoying ticking noises from the GM Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine, which is due to a dying EVAP canister purge solenoid valve assembly. This engine is found in the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic, among other GM models. Once identified, we go over how to replace this particular part with the latest genuine GM version of the part. The solenoid starts this louder abnormal ticking sound as it approaches end of life (they are never whisper quiet as there is some light sound that is normal though). If you let it go to long, eventually you will get a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of P0496 when it fails altogether. Now some ticking sound on these GM 1.4L engines is normal too, and from the fuel injector design. So pay careful attention to the sound in the video during the unplug/plug wiring harness test, which is distinct from the "normal" ticking of a GM Ecotec 1.4L engine.
The vehicle shown is a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze ECO, but the procedure is applicable to any Chevrolet or Buick from 2012 thru 2020 with the Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine including the following models:
Chevrolet Sonic, Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Trax, and Buick Encore
Chevrolet Sonic replace EVAP Purge Solenoid ticking noise
Chevrolet Cruze replace EVAP Purge Solenoid ticking noise
Chevrolet Trax replace EVAP Purge Solenoid ticking noise
Buick Encore replace EVAP Purge Solenoid ticking noise

Thank you so much. This was exactly what my daughters car was doing and it was driving me nuts. Thanks for the help and avoiding the mechanic.

@DrShock 2 года назад

Just some advice folks, don't just load up the parts cannon on this type of issue. You have to do diag, and perform the wiring harness test I go over in the video. The GM Ecotec 1.4L has a *normal* ticking sound simply due to its fuel injector design. What you're looking for is an _additional_ abnormal sound, in this videos case, specifically from a failing purge solenoid assembly. If you do not get the results shown in the video, your sound source is elsewhere. These solenoids are not whisper quiet to begin with, but they are also not supposed to be audible from a distance while the engine is idling either. That's what this repair vid is about addressing.

@scuba7431 Год назад

I did the test like you and the noise stopped so I put a new part in and it makes the same noise. It is loud and like I said stopped when I disconnected the power. So why would it still make this noise?

@DrShock Год назад

Tough to say, as you can read thru the comments for the vast majority of us this is what to do to repair this noise issue. If you can hear the noise inside the car with the doors closed and the windows up, only then is this a problem. It's _normal_ for this GM engine to make a ticking noise you can hear with the hood up. What you're listening for is not no noise, but _less_ noise. I can suggest two considerations if you still have the _hear it inside the car_ problem: Did you use a genuine GM ACDelco part? Aftermarket ones are typically of inferior quality and construction. Is there a check engine light, or a stored history diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the computers memory? The noise may be related to another component in the same EVAP system.

@robertolson7304 8 месяцев назад

No. That is the effect of over pressurization. That is not the cause. You have a bad timing chain tensioner. The timeing is off just so slightly that it causes back pressure. It will just break again until you tear apart the front of the engine and replace the time chain tensioner. 1:37

I'm working on a 2002 Buick LeSabre 3.8L and the problem I'm having is with the purge solenoid. My long term fuel trim is pegged out at -25% and my short term is around -5%. The solenoid is ticking meaning it's being energized. When I disconnect it the long term fuel trim goes back to 0. With the connector unplugged I connected a test light to battery power and the other end to the negative terminal. My test light pulsates continuously. The ground is controlled by the ECU. Does that mean the ECU has a bad driver or can a faulty fuel pressure sensor cause the computer to continuously run the Evap integrity test? I haven't checked the fuel pressure sensor voltage yet but I will once I jack up the car. Please Help!

@DrShock Год назад

Aftermarket parts tend to have this problem the most, vs using a genuine GM ACDelco part. In the beginning, it's just cosmetic - an annoying noise. But in the long run, the noisy part will fail and trigger a check engine light on the dash.

@humanity-is-love2355 Год назад

Hello sir mine does the same thing my car is throwing a p0171 you think it's because of this purge valve and can I replace all the pcv plastic hoses with rubber goses

@DrShock Год назад

That code is unlikely to be related to the purge solenoid, it's more likely coming from the intake manifold pcv bypass valve or a vacuum line in that component area. More diagnosis would be required to confirm, too many possibilities for a comment forum diag. You could check for th pcv bypass with this check though - ru-vid.comqGBt5skZWLI

@jeffreyallen3777 2 года назад

Can this cause a startup problem due to excessive negative tank pressure ? I'm definetly getting the noise and the vehicle acted like it was starving for gas at startup(it would run for a few seconds and then die). Thanks for the video.

@DrShock 2 года назад

Usually what happens here is, if you ignore the noise and do not replace it proactively, the solenoid eventually fails enough where you get a check engine lamp on the dash lit with a code you can pull with a scan tool. This part completely failing can cause the start symptoms you describe, but you may have multiple failures going on. I'd start with pulling the codes with a scan tool (not all of them will trigger the check engine lamp), and work that list first.

@DrShock 5 месяцев назад

Post a time index from the vid to be sure, but I _think_ what you are referring to is just a safety lock on the electrical harness connector. It's a small piece of plastic that helps make sure that the electrical connector does not accidentally get depressed and come loose. If so, its not a big deal. You could procure one at some point from a wreck at a you pull your own parts type salvage yard. Like an LKQ PYP site. If instead you mean the retainer for the vacuum line that connects into the solenoid, well if that broke you may have to replace that whole plastic line or the line won't stay connected.

Thanks for the video..its awesome !! Btw, what will happen if we not replace the Canister?? It just make an anoying sound or it can make the engine damage ??

@DrShock Год назад

Thanks. No, this noise problem causes no damage if ignored. Eventually the solenoid will fail to operate properly and cause a check engine light in the instrument cluster to come on. The solenoid is part of the emissions system, to reduce pollution of the air we all breath. Once the check engine light is on, it is a repair that you will have to do at that point to pass state inspection, if your state checks the vehicle for emissions compliance.

@fiktjen999 Год назад

@@DrShock Beside reduce the pollution, that part can affect the gasoline consumtion?? Maybe, it can be more economic..

@DrShock Год назад

Nah, not on this GM engine. Only emissions. Of course if the vacuum hoses going into and out of this part are damaged/open, that could lead to driveability issues but that's unrelated to the EVAP solenoid function itself.

Not quite sure what you're referring to, would you be talking about the part that has the red colored retainer for the electrical connector attached to the EVAP solenoid? Or further back?

@Caluy Год назад

Between the solenoid and the adapter

@DrShock Год назад

So with the EVAP solenoid assembly removed a 3:31, the connector at the intake manifold that the assembly snaps onto is in the right hand view. That connection is part of the plastic engine intake manifold. Everything removed is all one unit, if using genuine GM parts. If yours has something missing or different about that assembly itself, it could be an aftermarket design or damaged in some way.

There are at least eight different possible causes for that code on the ecotec 1.4L, but the evap solenoid is not one of them. More likely a vacuum hose leak, or an obstruction/leak in the crankcase ventilation flow.

@DrShock 2 года назад

The overall sound would yes. But different engines can have different sounds for both normal and abnormal, especially across manufacturers. So I wouldn't compare a GM engine to a Nissan engine alone, for this sort of problem. The GM Ecotec 1.4L, for example, has a perfectly normal ticking to it. That's kinda unusual to begin with engine sounds wise. It's only when you have this added noise with the purge solenoid failing that we cover in this vid, that you get an additional clue about something truly amiss. Most folks would never notice it, until the check engine light came on further down the calendar.

@DrShock 2 года назад

This particular GM engine has a _normal_ ticking to it. When the purge solenoid ages it adds to the melody. The unplug/plug test I showed in the video is how you determine if you have an _abnormal_ ticking noise issue relating to the purge solenoid. The solenoid obviously makes _some_ sound when it's functioning, but as it ages the sound becomes much louder, pending a failure. If during the unplug test you are still hearing what you're commenting on, it's not related to the purge solenoid. It could be _normal_ or something else, like an exhaust manifold leak (that also makes a _ticca ticca ticca_ sound. Or an internal engine component from low oil, wear etc. Many things.

@silkcrow6750 2 года назад

Check the hose that connects from the canister valve to the intake manifold. Also called the purge line. Sometimes there will be a ball check piece inside the hose itself that could be making the noise. If so, replace the hose, you should be able to feel it as well.

When these fail, it's usually a P0496. But you could have more than one issue going on.

@sit-n-wait3018 2 года назад

Why did u not Start it to show the clicking gone ?

@DrShock 2 года назад

Just ran out of time with the cars owner needing it back, as mentioned at 4:55. It's a pretty cut and dry diagnosis here as shown with the harness disconnect/reconnect test. Just remember that there's always ticking with an Ecotec 1.4L. And there is some sound that _normally_ comes from an operating purge solenoid. It's just a question of _abnormal_ ticking that you might notice that was *not* there before. There are several sources for such new sounds, this is only _one_ of the possibilities.

@MartinHernandez-kv4qk 2 года назад

Can this cause check engine light to come on?

@DrShock 2 года назад

When the solenoid fully fails, yes it will usually trigger a trouble code. But not in the early stages like we see in this video.

@corby4371 Год назад

About how long will I be able to drive my car with it sounding like this?

@DrShock Год назад

This particular problem is totally cosmetic noise, you could let it go until the part ultimately fails where it will then cause the check engine light to come on. Then you can replace it. Most folks don't like the cosmetic noise though, and replace it proactively just to address that.

@dal8213 Год назад

Can this cause a rough idle?

@DrShock Год назад

Possibly, though there can be a multitude of causes for that symptom. Start with checking for vacuum leaks across all the lines.

@Maxim.Teleguz 2 года назад

#1: check your oil levels. I should’ve done this first.

@DrShock 2 года назад

Yep, all kinds of causes for sounds. That's why I show the unplug test right up front. If the sound doesn't change, you have to keep looking.

@vazquezchavo 2 года назад

I replaced the purge Canister but it still making the noise. What do I do?

@DrShock 2 года назад

When you did the unplug/plug electrical test I showed, before replacing the part, did the sound change? That's an important diagnostic confirmation step, because there are other things that can sound similar. So you have to confirm the purge solenoid is the source of the sound, or at least one of the sounds, before you change the part. Like I mentioned in this video, we had actually had two failures to remedy before we got rid of all the ticking. This is one of them though.

@vazquezchavo 2 года назад

@@DrShock I did that and the noise stopped, I think that I maybe got a faulty part.

@DrShock 2 года назад

Yeah, that's what I would suspect if the unplug/plug test confirmed this was the point of noise.

@Donnie_Prestwood Год назад

First of all, anyone know what causes them to tick? Just changed mine today. Old one ticked until I unplugged it. Put a new one on made by Dorman same as old one. Plugged it in and same tick. Just learned if your going to replace this part buy an AC Delco one. Going to try that next and hopefully have better luck but that's what I get when trying to save a buck!

@luisjara4398 2 года назад

I just bought a 2020 sonic about 3 weeks and it has this noise already. Can someone tell me if this is normal and if not, should i give back and claim my money back? THANK YOU

@luisjara4398 2 года назад

It has 43k miles

@DrShock 2 года назад

Like with some of the earlier comments, those new to the Sonic and GM's Ecotec 1.4L turbo may not be used to the ticking sound it makes _normally_ by design. You have to go thru the diagnosis I do in the video to see if what you have is an _additional_ ticking noise caused by this solenoid on its way out. A failing solenoid would not be covered by warranty usually anyway, as this is a wear item like a brake pad. They are relatively inexpensive, and easy to replace yourself if proven to have been the source. Only use genuine GM/ACDelco though (part info in the description), the aftermarket import parts will fail very quickly.

@CarlosGarcia-ls4hn Год назад

I also have a 2020 Sonic. It is not a super quiet engine. These engines are not like the older, quieter V-8s we used to have. They sometimes run and sound like lawn mowers. But did you get rid of that ticking sound?

@choncoconcos5912 9 месяцев назад

Question: What is the function of this part?

@DrShock 9 месяцев назад

This is a solenoid related to the emissions system of the engine, to meet US EPA regulations on pollution. It is a system required to be maintained in working order for all states that perform motor vehicle inspections.

@bencherifsoufiane92 7 месяцев назад

I'm having same problem is it bad if i don't replace it?

@DrShock 7 месяцев назад

At the stage I've shown the issue in this video, it's purely cosmetic acoustically. Eventually, the solenoid will fail completely and the check engine light will come on in the dash area. You could certainly wait on this sort of repair if it's only in the early cosmetic stages.

@bencherifsoufiane92 7 месяцев назад

@DrShock i detach solenoid like you did but the noise still it's not too loud you can't hear it from inside or outside and no light on dash yet

@DrShock 7 месяцев назад

If you hear the noise with the solenoid disconnected, that's not where the noise is coming from. ;-)

@BruceLayR8 2 года назад

I have a similar noise coming from my 2016 Malibu 1.5 EcoTec, wonder of this is it. But it sounds like a high pitched knock when heard up close

@DrShock 2 года назад

GM engines can each have their own unique acoustic signatures, but it will have a similar design. The EVAP purge solenoid for the 1.5L looks very similar to the one I'm showing for this 1.4L. You might give it the same simple electrical harness disconnect and se if the noise changes. Always familiarize yourself with how the connector unlocks and disconnects with the engine off, before trying such a test to avoid damaging any parts or connectors.

@BruceLayR8 2 года назад

@@DrShock I will do that, first I have to find the location of where the part is. And I went on a trip last weekend & it was barely noticeable after a long run. Does the cold affect it too?

@DrShock 2 года назад

@@BruceLayR8 The temperature of the part under the hood, rather than what the outside weather is, may affect the sound. The ticking may not be as noticeable until things warm up, for example. But once it starts making the noise, it should be fairly reproducible from there on out.

Mine ticks some times then it stops.. even after I replaced the valve

@DrShock 2 года назад

They are not totally _silent_ when operating, but should not be loud enough for you to notice with the hood closed. At least the genuine GM / ACDelco ones are like that. Aftermarket ones will always be of a lower quality construction (that's why they are cheaper), so _may_ be noisier even when operating normally.

Wrong answer for this particular GM engine on this particular GM vehicle. They are not completely silent as I've mentioned previously, but they are not supposed to be this loud either. The increased noise is an early sign of a solenoid worn out and soon to fail further. Thanks for commenting though.
