Does your car struggle to start, sputter, or stumble for 30 seconds every single time you finish filling up the gas tank? That classic post-gas-station stumble is caused by a failed EVAP purge valve under the hood! When the purge valve gets stuck open, raw fuel vapors from the gas tank flood the engine intake manifold while you're pumping gas, temporarily "drowning" the engine in too much fuel when you turn the key.
Swapping a stuck purge valve takes minutes and makes starting after a fill-up effortless again! If you have any questions or concerns, hear it from the pros at Hamrick Tire. You can give us a call at +13342988476.
