jeep liberty 2004 3.7 trouble codes 0172 and 0171 at the same time

Take a smile generator and put to vacuum port and fill it up ....usually shows up very quickly but what i found was the the Purge control solenoid was stuck wide open allowing full vacuum to the vapor line to the fuel tank..
Easy test is to remove supply vapor line to the Purge control solenoid which is usually mounted right near or intake or driver side fender, easy test is turn the key on, turn on the smoke generator and if any smoke comes out of the solenoid out of the unplugged port to fuel tank there is your problem.
Almost any scanner will allow you the test ability to perform a purge control solenoid test and it allows you to cycle it in 10% increments and should allow you to see the duty cycle while performing this test. The Purge control solenoid should be completely closed at idle and with KOEO. same test can be performed on just about any chrysler or dodge vehicles. Again very easy to find it, your computer may also show Large evap system leak.
Hope that helps
Sounds a quick easy test :+)
