Purge Valve Clicking Myth
 

I have a purge valve, or so it is said to be a purge valve. It is located on the left side of the motor and has 2 wires and 2 vac lines, it clicks when the car gets warm, a mechanic friend of mine told me it is just a dodge thing that it is supposed to do that. Another mechanic friend said that he has never heard of a purge valve clicking and I should look at getting that fixed. So, Is it supposed to click? Or, Not?

it isnt supposed to click, i had one do that to me a while back because it was going bad

well i figured that one but i am not going to take the word of just one person, due to the fact that i have heard it both ways before. anyone know why they click?

dont take my word for it....i know nothing about neons anyways

dude you can take spuds word for it he know what he is talking about he has owned in the 20's of neon's he is the 1rst gen neon advisor for a reason. he has never given me wrong info, maybe sarcasm a time or two, lol, but never wrong info

thanks for that

no problem, anytime

No offence, it was a volkswagen guy who told me it was bad, the mechanic at the dealership who has been "trained to work on dodge vehicles" told me that it was normal to have it click. Personally I think that it is loud enough that it sounds like my car is going to explode.

if its working properly then you shouldnt hear any noise comming from it at all

yeah if its not broken dont fix it. and spud you know you dont know jack about neons. geesh :)
