Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Continuing problem with loss of acceleration/power but only when it is not raining or when the humidity is below 95%. this results in poor fuel economy. i also witnessed the evap purge solenoid making unusual/loud knocking sounds. been to dealer 6 times for this performance issue. the only code found was for defective evap canister. it ran better but did not fix it. with my scanner, it takes almost a week to finish system testing on the evap circuit where it only takes one warm-up and cool-down to finish testing on all the other circuits. my suspicion is that the evap purge solenoid needs to be replaced. i'm tired of paying $100 diagnostic fees to be told "there's nothing wrong with the truck". i know better since i've driven and worked on my own trucks for more than 20 years now. *tr
