Purge Valve

Recommended Posts

So I have to get my car through emissions in about a month. I have a check engine light, I get it read and its only codes are P0142 and P0172, one is for a rich fuel mixture and the other is for a small evap leak. I am assuming they are related and my guess is that it has something to do with the purge valve?.... Have any of you ever heard of those going bad?

The only symptom other than the CEL is a whistling noise near the area of the purge/charcoal canister area.

Thanks for your help.
