P0496 ME9 (2.8L v6 T) Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] (#829) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JustinHiFi) on Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:22:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just wanted to post for archives to let techs know if they run into this fault code for the ME9 engine management system to examine the purge valve operation. Client came in with this code last month along with a defective fuel filler cap and broken brake booster line. Replaced the filler cap and booster line cleared DTCs. Ran EVAP integrity diag and passed multiple times. Checked purge valve operation and passed. Vehicle returned with same code this week. Found that purge valve was intermittently not closing completely. Replaced the purge valve and all is good.
Symptoms included hesitation at idle especially when fuel tank was above 1/2 tank, excessive soot (rich mixture) on tailpipes, and she reported dumping black smoke if the vehicle was left running when filling car with fuel.
