⚠️ Important Fitment Notes:
• Always verify by VIN – Fitment is determined by the engine code (Ecotec) and EVAP system layout. Confirm your application before ordering.
• GM/ACDelco quality – This is a genuine GM / ACDelco part, not an aftermarket brand.
• EVAP system – This valve is used for the EVAP purge function only. It is not for the vent solenoid.
• Double‑check your original part – Before ordering, confirm the part number printed on your old purge valve or run your VIN through a GM OEM parts catalog for absolute certainty.

Vapor Canister Purge Valve (EVAP purge solenoid)
Function
The purge valve controls the flow of fuel vapors stored in the EVAP canister into the engine intake manifold, where they are burned during combustion. This reduces emissions and improves fuel efficiency. The valve is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and opens only under certain engine operating conditions.
Applications
This purge valve is used on GM Ecotec engines (2.0L, 2.5L, 2.7L, 3.6L) found in Chevrolet Malibu, Camaro, Equinox, Traverse, Colorado, Buick Envision, Regal, GMC Canyon, Terrain, and Cadillac ATS, CTS, XT5 from approximately 2013 through 2022.
Important: This valve is designed for GM Ecotec engines and EVAP systems. It may not be compatible with other engine families or other vehicle brands. If in doubt, send us your VIN before ordering.
