Key Features

• Direct replacement purge valve for the evaporative emissions system
• Engineered for a precise fit and plug-and-play installation
• Metal and plastic housing construction
• Two vacuum connectors with 0.18 in. diameter
• Supports proper vapor control in OE-style emissions service

Detailed Description

Dorman 911-088 is a vapor canister purge valve designed to replace the factory purge valve on select Saturn vehicles. It is built to match the original installation layout and connection style, making it a practical choice for Saturn SL and Saturn SC1 purge valve replacement, as well as Saturn SL2 and Saturn SW2 evaporative system service. This part cross-references Standard Ignition CP485 for the same application.

As part of the evaporative emissions system, the purge valve helps route stored fuel vapors for engine use under the correct operating conditions. The Dorman 911-088 purge valve is intended for 1991-1995 Saturn SL, SL1, SL2, 1991-1992 Saturn SC, and 1993-1995 Saturn SC1, SC2, SW1, SW2 fitment.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to evaporative emissions faults
• Hard starting or rough idle caused by purge valve malfunction
• Fuel vapor leakage from a worn or sticking valve
• Failed emissions inspection tied to EVAP system issues
• Incorrect vapor flow through the purge circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector diameter and vacuum line routing before installation. This valve uses two vacuum connectors and is a direct-fit replacement, so it should align with the original purge valve location and hose connections on the listed Saturn models. Confirm the vehicle year and model against the fitment list before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this purge valve as an OE-style replacement part for emissions system service. It is engineered to meet the functional requirements of the original vapor canister purge valve and support proper evaporative emissions operation.
