Gates PV416 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid - At Engine

Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Overview

The Gates PV416 vapor canister purge solenoid restores evaporative emission control function when the original valve no longer regulates purge flow correctly. It is built from durable materials and uses a 2-terminal blade connection with a single oval female connector for a direct electrical interface.

Compatible With a wide range of GM applications, including Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Cruze, and Buick Encore models. The PV416 is a fitment-based replacement for vehicles that use a vapor canister purge solenoid at the engine.

Key Features

• Durable construction for extended service life.
• Single oval female connector with 2 male blade terminals.
• Restores purge solenoid operation in the evaporative emissions system.
• Designed for applications that use a no-hose-port solenoid layout.
• Gates PV416 fitment covers many GM passenger cars and crossovers.

Detailed Description

The Gates PV416 is a vapor canister purge solenoid for evaporative emission control systems. When the purge valve sticks, leaks, or stops responding electrically, the system can lose proper fuel vapor routing and trigger drivability or emissions concerns. This replacement part is built to return the purge circuit to normal operation on supported Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, and Pontiac applications. It is a practical choice for Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Cruze, and Buick Encore service work where the original solenoid has failed.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 911-140 and Standard Ignition CVS38 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine lights related to evaporative emission control faults.
• Hard starting or rough running caused by purge valve malfunction.
• Fuel vapor flow problems in the EVAP system.
• Failed electrical response from the original purge solenoid.
• Emissions test failures tied to purge control issues.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle fitment before installation. This PV416 uses a female oval connector with two male blade terminals and no hose ports, so matching the original configuration is important. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s EVAP layout, especially on Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Cruze, and Buick Encore models.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds vapor canister purge solenoids from high-quality materials to support durability and service life. Replacing a worn purge solenoid helps restore proper evaporative emission control system operation.
