just wondering if anyone has detalied instructions on the removal and replacement of this valve, as the ticking is driving me nuts. or if anyone has a copy of the insturctions from the helms manual that would be helpful. thanks

 

heres a good thread on the valve.
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ntrol+solenoid

it has just about all you need to know about it.

 

Nice work, Stealth!

 

just helpin out a fellow AZer

 

here what you asked: hope it helps

#1 unplug the connector
#2 pull the solenoid up off the clip
#3 diconnect the hose, just pull it off
#4 disconnect by squeezing the clip,

 

i just checked mines, thanks to stealth's pic posted... and mine is making the ticking sound, i touched it and you can feel it ticking and hear it also, i just made my dealer change it

 

Mine clicks but I never hear it unless my hood is open and I've got my head in there.

 

I just turn the radio up louder...

 

no offense but that was stupid...
thats something that a chick would say... "i dont hear it, when i blast my radio, so its fixed"
if it clicking or broken just fix it....

 

to be honest, its atually not that dumb to just turn the radio up louder. Do you realize the purge valve doesnt really even do anything besides control emissions, why spend the 40 bucks if its only going to make a small ticking sound.

Its not like his wheel is falling off and he said, " Oh ya, I will just turn the radio up"

Give him a break...

 

We're trying limit noob bashing here on acurazine, but it works the other way too...

No offense, but noobs shouldn't come in here with 36 posts and start busting the balls of some of our veteran members... You've got to put in your time before you can get away with stuff like that, or expect to receive what you dish out...

Just making a point, and it's not totally directed at you... We've got alot of new members lately, and I just wanted to use this as an example...

Just trying to set the tone for a kinder, gentler, acurazine

< / rant>

Jason, you sound like a chick when you said you'll "just turn the radio up"

 

very understandable, but when a "veteran" says something like that, to me it shows how much a person actually cares about there car/cars...
im new to this site, but not new to acura

 

Call me a girl all you want! I can't hear you 'cause my crappy OEM Bose stereo is way too loud anyway! What ticking?

 

Once again, the purge valve isnt going to destroy his car if he doesnt immediately fix it.

 

just a question to 609. how is it that your GSR became to be "RIP"? it couldn't have been from a stupid mistake since you care so much about your cars.

as for the ticking. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. if it bugs you, blast your stereo or do what have you. mind over matter or in this case, noise over noise. as far as i know, anyone one can do what they want to their car.

 

lol , very true about the stereo...
but it fits so damn perfect i dont want to change it... i did add subs though...
helmet is straight up goofy lol
to whoever i offened

 

it wasnt a stupid mistake thats is RIP... that car is resting in pieces... it was flatbedded when i was doing x mas shopping this past year...
the pic you see is before i had the type r lip, cf hood, hid, and extra engine mods....
the type s is a much more comfortable car though

 

I got teh sub!

 

nice... i like that ...
i just have two ma 12'' competion... just basic, i like the way you have the sub, looks like a perfect fit...

 

Thanks.

Sort of. The previous round sub fit better than the square L5.

 

looks good though, props for that

 

Noobs...

609, if you're so concerned about my useless purge solenoid valve, feel free to come fix it for me.

 

nah im good... i aint beat for fixing anyone elses car...
thanks for offering though

 

mines ticks and ticks faster when i hit the gas, im i looking at the same problem?

 

No, usually ticking during acceleration indicates a need for a valve adjustment.

 

wow that sounds expensive, can sounds expensive cause I wouldd trust nobody but Acura to do that.

 

I have ticking that is pretty loud but it seems to come and go. I went out twice today to check to see if it was the purge valve but no ticking. will the purge ticking come and go? Will Valvle tick come and go?

 

noo, i would say it is a constant thing. mine still does it and runs just fine.

 

Im just curious, i dont even know where that is in my engine bay!

 

back drivers side of the engine bay up against the firewall
