I tested my purge vent today by applying a 9v battery to it. It clicked and I was able to suck and blow air through it. When the power was removed I could no longer blow through it. I also tested the electrical harness with a voltmeter and I got 12.4v with the car in the 'on' position.

Are these acceptable test to determine if the purege vent valve/solenoid is working correctly? I really don't have any mechanic tools so I do what I can with what I have.

Thanks.
