A canister purge valve for use in an evaporative emission control system. The valve includes a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port. The housing further includes a guide element having a bobbin section. A valve shaft is slidably mounted to the guide element, wherein the valve shaft includes a permanent magnet and a valve element. The valve element is movable between a closed position wherein the inlet port is closed and an open position wherein the inlet port is opened. A pick coil is formed on the bobbin adjacent the magnet. The pick coil generates a first magnetic field having a polarity that is oriented to cause a magnetic attraction with the magnet to move the magnet and thus the valve element to the open position. In addition, a release coil is formed on the bobbin adjacent to the magnet, wherein the release coil generates a second magnetic field having a polarity that is oriented to cause the magnet to be repelled to move the magnet and thus the valve element to the closed position.
