Purge valve and vapor canister for 2.0 Zetec?


Recommended Posts

I have a 2002 Superlight R, with a 2.0 Zetec.  My code reader indicates a purge valve error.  According to the part numbers stamped in the plastic parts, my purge valve and canister are from a Rover from the 80's.  So now I'm wondering what other purge valves can I use?  Anybody with a 2.0 Zetec would please check it out?

Why adapt when the part is available on this side of the pond? Maybe the hose is split or it isn't plugged in. It is just a two-wire solenoid like most everything back then.

Hi MV8 -- the only parts I found were used ebay listings in UK, which is available but full of annoyance and risk.  It is indeed a 2-wire solenoid, so I have the expectation that an easy solution already exists, and thus the question.

The purge tank is Delphi GM 17089060 from a 1989 Olds Calais or Buick Skylark.  AC Delco cross match number is 215-69.   Was also used on Rover 414 / 416 / 420

 

The purge solenoid valve is 69844   This was used a little more widely including a Rover 25 from 1999 to 2001

pretty straightforward to test the purge valve specifically and check the entire evap system (components, wires and hoses) generally. I would confirm defective before replacing. it could be else something in the system. The purge device as stated earlier is simply a 2 wire solenoid (12v & ground), so can bench test with a spare battery and two wires to the solenoid terminals. if it passes, look for fault elsewhere. They can fail but it's easily a vehicle limetime item unless tank has been overfilled too many times in the past.
