Inspire Air Valve Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2021 Honda Inspire hybrid, it has just over 107000 kilometers. The check engine light is on, and it seems like it's the air valve system. I think it might be a bad hose connection from the pump to the valve, maybe affecting manifold pressure and air to the throttle body. Has anyone else had engine stalling or air valve problems with this model?

The conversation centers around a 2021 Honda Inspire hybrid experiencing a check engine light issue, suspected to be related to the air valve system. The initial problem is thought to be a bad hose connection affecting manifold pressure and air to the throttle body. A similar issue is suggested to be related to the purge control valve, which can affect the air/fuel mixture. The solution involves checking and repairing the hose connection, which was confirmed by a technician and resolved the issue.

I had something similar on my Inspire. Not sure what year yours is, but it sounds like the purge control valve. That can throw a code and mess with your air/fuel mixture. Check the hoses connected to it for cracks or leaks. It’s a common issue, especially with the mileage you’re at. Is the engine idling rough or hesitating when you accelerate?

Thanks, the engine is a little rough at idle. Where is the purge control valve located, and what did you do to figure out the problem? I want to check it out before I get it repaired.

On my Inspire, the purge control valve was near the throttle body, close to the intake manifold. After checking the hoses, I just took it to a trusted workshop because I didn't want to mess with the engine management system myself. They confirmed it was a faulty valve and replaced it. It’s better to get it checked by someone who knows Hondas, especially if you're not sure. Could save you money.

I took your advice and spoke to a technician. It was a bad hose connection from the pump to the air valve, like I thought. The repair was 175€. Thanks for sharing your experience, it really helped.
