I finaly got mine in...driver side the tabs go down and the ridge goes toward the manifold not the up pipe. I fought that stupid thing most of the day trying to get all three holes on the gasket to line up without folding the gasket up.

I can't get bottom hole of the gasket closest to wheel well on driver side to line up with exhaust flanges, not even close. How do you get the driver side in? Been at it for most of the day.

Cody, I am hoping you will respond to me. I have a 2000 Chevy Impala 3.4 engine and the car is giving me the P1441 code. "EVAP System Flow During Non-Purge. I replaced the purge valve solenoid and the engine light with this code return again within a week. Not sure what to do next. Is possible a bad charcoal canister is causing the P1441 code? Thank you so much in advance.

Nicely done thank you! Related note that might help others - if you remove the cat and weld in a pipe section like I did on my car, you will also get the 420 code. In short - no cat = 420 code.

Do you have both 02 sensors in place?? Just be curious I also do not have a cat and have straight pipe in place of the cat and muffler still connected
@paulhaines57559 ай бұрын
I did at that time when the cat was gutted. Both sensors in place. However, I should ad that since that time I've put a new cat in my car. It still has an occasional 420 code so I'm not sure what is going on with it. It runs like a champ so I'm now really worried about it. Possible it's a mis-match or O2 sensors but without diagnostics I don't think there's a way for me to figure that out.

First off, great video. Secondly, I have a question in regards to my 02 Malibu. Toward the end at 1:38 there is a smaller hose branching away from intake (what I assume to be larger hose). That hose is approx. a foot long and connects right under the spark plug assembly in the back. Can you tell me what that hose is called/if it can be removed without taking spark plug assembly out? I hope this makes sense.

My engine started making a weird air sound and we got to looking and found 2 tubes to nowhere. One is that U shaped hose from the PCV, which is open at the far end, and the other is an open clear tube attached to a copper tube, whcih comes out at that center hole where your PCV one hooks in. Any idea what would be going on here?
@codybrown25774 жыл бұрын
Hello, I’m unsure of what your taking aboutif you send me a video I’m sure I can help. But if your noticing a sound of air I would doubt its evap related But it could be. I would just check your connections and look for things that’s could be broken or not connected.
@jrodflint4 жыл бұрын
The tube that hooks to the PVC check valve is plastic, not copper. The *U* shaped hose connects to the the PVC tube and EVAP Purge canister.
@TM3MT4 жыл бұрын
Turned out the tube that looked copper was just red plastic with a yellowed clear plastic over the end of it. Never did figure out why it was there, ended up taking it off and hooking up the u back where it belonged.

@codybrown25774 жыл бұрын
Mike Walker ok so Circuit meaning you have electrical issues somewhere with either a harness or faulty part. I would start with fuses or relays it’s usually an easy check when it comes to electrical. The thing is you could try testing faulty parts for what comes up with code and see if it fixes it. The evap cycle takes many miles to actually complete so if your code doesn’t off right away that’s why

Samantha Gracias the cooling fan should turn on only when your engine needs it that’s the huge sound of air you hear from cars idling on summer days. As far as your ac I would check your pressure on a guage and your fuses and your ac compressor to see if it’s turning on an off. Fixing this issue can help because it will keep the engine cooler.
