ABSTRACT:
A fuel vapor purge control assembly includes an intake passage, a vapor purge passage in fluid communication with the intake passage, a port between and in fluid communication with the intake passage and the vapor purge passage; a closing member movably mounted in the intake passage and an actuator assembly received in the receptacle and connected to the closing member. The closing member has a first position where the closing member closes the port and blocks fluid communication between the intake passage and the vapor purge passage and is outside of a fluid stream of the intake passage when fluid is flowing through the intake passage. The closing member has a second position where the closing member opens the port and allows fluid communication between the intake passage and the vapor purge passage and extends into the fluid stream of the intake passage when fluid is flowing through the intake passage. The actuator assembly drives the closing member between the first and second positions.
