Abstract
In an emission control system for a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, the purge of fuel vapor from a canister containing fuel vapor is effected through a purge valve operated by a control vacuum signal, as controlled by operation of a thermal vacuum switch, which signal is also applied to an exhaust gas recirculating valve, acting on one side of a diaphragm in the purge valve, the diaphragm being operative to control flow of fuel vapor supplied to a compartment on the opposite side of the diaphragm via a restricted inlet passage from the canister to a passage having a positive crankcase ventilation vacuum signal applied thereto with flow through the passage controlled by movement of the diaphragm.
