2001 impala purge valve was created by Ninjaxchicken
purge valve is pulsating at idle rapidly open and closed... if i unplug the connector and take a test light from battery negative to plug hot wire it steady glows with 12 volts... if i take the test light from battery postivie and touch the computer controlled ground wire the test light pulses as the purge solenoid would be doing... is this normal?

Its normal. You can look at purge command percentage on a scan tool and see the ecm commanding purge.

Perfectly normal monde. I've seen lots of cars pulse the purge solenoid at idle

Why are you checking? Rough idle? Mil on? If so what code is stored in pcm?
