Point of interest about a stuck open purge valve, you can get either a lean or a rich code. This is because it pulls from the canister that may or may not have excess fuel vapors in it. Significant fuel in the canister will give rich, little fuel will give lean.
Watching from Ashland ky - a nice little addition you might want to add to your smoke machine is a small flow meter. It can help show you how big a leak you may have as big smoke flow shows big leak and help show a very small leak as it will finally show almost no flow type deal. I recently had to replace the purge valve on the Mrs caddy and it was located up high on the engine. It threw a similar code and was recirculating when it shouldn’t .
I’ve been getting that same code on my 06 grand Cherokee and I don’t have any vacuum leaks with the smoke machine and I’ve changed the charcoal canister and the purge valve already and still get the same code. Did you ever fix your car ?
Mine not smoking well until I keep shaking it why? Same model from the first day ,it's like this ,I bought it 2 years back but used 3 times on that period

True!
What ended up being the problem? I have an 03 TB and I'm getting a P1441 evap leak and it starts hard when I get gas.
Excellent video. Yep some problems seem cloaked, but they will eventually be found. Thanks again! ( Nice smoke machine)
Hi loving all the videos have a nice and happy Christmas from the U.K.
The P0171 code is a monster. I've changed both of my sensors and still nothing. I've been riding with it for a year now.

Turned out to be the purge valve . It had two wires going to it . A sensor on the gas tank.

Where do you get your car ramps?
Down the street late at night.
I just bought this but not here yet. Can we run this without the actual smoke going through like just the air?
Hope you get it fixed
Good stuff!!!

Where can we buy the machine from? It's not in the descriptions unless I'm blind. The video is about the tool, but you don't say where ya got it.🤷♂️
What is the purpose of a valve stem being on that port?
To test pressure.
