i have a 2000 tiburon and im wondering if the purge control valve in the canister is interchangeable with one from same year accent?

 

The purge control valve is not in the canister.

 

The correct "Hyundai" term for the valve that's attached to the Vapour Canister is the "Canister Control Valve".
Is the Cannister control Valve interchangeable with any other models? The Tiburon Valve is over 200 dollars at my local dealer and I'd really like to get that check engine light off.

 

Why don't you try to clean the old one first. They get clogged with little bits of charcoal from the canister. It's simple so see if it's bad, take it off, and try to blow through the canister side with no electric going through. You shouldn't be able to blow because the valve is supposed to be closed. If you can blow it's because the valve is clogged and hanging open. If it is clogged, you might try and clean it.

Then take the hose off from the canister and clean the hose too, you'll get a handful of charcoal out before your done. If you don't clean the hose out, you'll probably clog the valve again, even if it's new.

That's why they ususally change the canister and the valve at the same time. It gets clogged because you fill the tank to the max, it floods the canister with gas, and the charcoal floats up through the hose to the valve.

 

Hmaservice says thus:

thanks for all the help guys but my CCV valve has an "open" in the valve itself so I definitely require a new one. Still would like to know if the same valve is used on the Accent.
