Check Engine Light Repair Customer needed to pay upcoming DMV registration. But had a check engine light issue. After contacting us and bringing in car for inspection we found the issue was a failed canister purge solenoid. The canister purge solenoid is responsible for "purging" the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) by acting as a switch that allows vapor into your engine. When the canister purge solenoid becomes defective problems in the EVAP system result. Gas emissions begin to escape into the atmosphere. New car part was ordered, delivered and fixed same day. Customer happy and can now register vehicle with the DMV (after driving 200 miles to pass emissions). When you need check engine light repair near me in San Diego, call Magic Lube and Auto Repair.
