I've wondered about that. But in the end I decided against it because the ECM might need to be grounded to the chassis through the mounting bolts. You'd have to pull the ECM out from under the center...

Anyone know how to test the purge volume control solenoid?

Or know conditions that it should be open/closed?

I hate changing parts by guessing.
