anyone familiar with the fuel system and what would cause the purge valve to stick?
base model mazda cx-5, almost at 100k miles and the engine will rev on it's own, assuming valve stuck open dumping excess fuel vapor. I saw a video on youtube that showed tapping on the valve would unstick it. that worked intermittently and the problem got worse.
I changed the purge valve with auto parts special praying mazda isn't sensitive when it comes to electrical parts. it cleared the issue up for about 2k miles and then it came back, exact same symptoms.
I warrantied out the purge valve from the auto parts store and hoping maybe it was just a fluke bad part, but realistically what else could be causing them to stick? bad charcoal canister or maybe a evap leak? I'm considering taking it to the dealer.
I don't like my gf having to pop the hood and bang on the valve constantly.
codes:
p0171 system too lean
p0172 system too rich (lmao)
p144a
p013a
last two codes tripped because her gas cap came loose causing a minor evap leak.
when checking the freeze data evap purge % was 0 and the code set at 660rpm/0mph so she was idling, likely when the car started.
thanks for any assistance.
