I got a check engine light on my ‘14 impala - no other symptoms. Bought a tester at the local store for about $35. Got error code P0496. Bought purge valve on rockauto for about $27 including shipping. That was over a month ago, no more check engine light.

Great video, only thing I would add after dealing with emission codes on my Cadillac Dts. Make sure you get GM genuine parts like sensors or a purge valve. I changed everything from a pump to the check valve and all the sensors. Turned out to be one of the cheap sensors wasn't working correctly and that was throwing my code.

Wow I had a 2014 tacoma that started trying to stall out at red lights and difficulty starting after fuel ups and had to pump the accelerator while starting to get it to crank over. Went to toyota and to another mechanic and toyota did the 3 point fuel injection cleaning but didnt fix issue and other mechanic said put fuel additives in or use top tier fuel like Chevron but that also didnt help. I traded the truck in and all that time it was the fkg purge valve based on this video...funny part a friend who builds cars (works on his own vehicles) recently said the same thing. I swear getting a proper diagnostic that fixes an issue from a paid mechanic is nearly always a scam for a more expensive repair or to just avoid the work and get you off the lot for a diagnostic fee knowing they didnt fix the issue.

It should still start and run with a P0442 EVAP code; there must be another issue. If the purge valve gets stuck open, it may cause it to run rich or idle rough, but it would still run.
