EVAP Solenoid versus PVC Fix V3 kit

[gnonne]

2013 LT Sedan with 24k miles, 1.4L turbo, automatic. Was thinking of doing the V3 PCV kit - but it runs really well, except for a ticking solenoid under acceleration. No CEL. I have a new evap solenoid, wondering if I should do it all at once, re-use the old solenoid, etc.

Could a bad or going bad PCV cause the evap solenoid to open and close repeatedly when under boost?

What the chances it is only the evap solenoid and the PCV is good? I really don't want to pull the hose to check the PCV since it is so easy to break the hose to the turbo. If I do the V3 kit, the hose gets replaced.

If my PCV is not bad, would the V3 kit make the new evap parts last longer?

I don't really have a answer to your question but I'm replacing all of it while I'm at it. Just got a new Valve cover & intake Manifold I ported it and im doing the pcv fix and replacing the purge valve and everything. I figure it's easier to do it all now while I'm at it.

I should do the V3 kit. He has an easy version now where you don't even need a heat gun.

The original PCV is going to cause problems, probably sooner rather than later, and its a decent car otherwise, so it may as well be fixed now.

That's what I ordered was the v3

Part came today - Evap purge valve. It was a bit hard to get the original connector to the intake off, but it did come off. Took 11 minutes to swap out and I was being quite careful.

I cannot get the car to make the rattle anymore, so it is fixed.

About a week ago I did get under the car and place some foam insulation between the body/firewall and the tubes leading to the gas tank, right above the sway bar mount on the passenger side. It is really tight in there. That significantly reduced the noise, as the tubes were rattling together and against the car when the purge valve opened and closed rapidly.

With the new purge valve, there is zero noise.

Only remaining question is if I should do the V3 PCV kit now. No CEL, zero issues, but the purge valve going bad at 23-24k miles makes me wonder. Of course, it was 7 years old...

Thoughts?
