Thank you. Same exact issue with my 2019 Impala and for the first time I found a fix on the first video, your's, that I clicked on and watched.

[@kinggage]

I had the same code on my 15 Impala. Ordered the part online for $25 and replaced it. Thanks to this video I was able to fix the issue with no more check engine light and issues

[@whoknew7864]

My 15 doing it right now any other major issues?

This has to be one of the best instructional and educational videos I have watched on fixing an error code. Great video, love the included logic in the video with easy to understand diagrams

[@ricardodelaguila3587]

Thank you man. I just replaced mine following the instructions in your video and it was super easy. I also did the test and when I blew in it the air was passing through. I tried it with the new one and it was completely solid. I cleared the check engine light and I’m hoping it doesn’t come back.

[@richdevaysolid1]

How do you clear the check engine.. please help

[@ricardodelaguila3587]

@@richdevaysolid1 I cleared mine with a scan device. But you can always do it the old fashioned way. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and connect it again. Doing this should clear all the codes.

[@charleskinkade5380]

So the code won't clear just by fixing the problem?

[@ricardodelaguila3587]

@@charleskinkade5380 most likely it won’t. But if you don’t have a scan tool you can always go to any parts store like AutoZone or O Reilly’s and they can clear it for you for free.

I’m having the same problem right now it all started a week ago when I overfilled my gas tank at work, as soon as I was done i went back in to started and it made a noise like it wanted to turn in but it wouldn’t but it always starts after like the 3rd try......I appreciate your videos bro I respect your work.

[@Vfoxfire]

Thank you. This was the best video that I have found for this problem. You let me know exactly where it was, and you showed everything. Thank you. I'll update if this is my problem.

Awesome. Glad this video helped out Velisha

[@orlandoconde5341]

I had a rough low idle. System to lean. This fixed all of it. Great job, great video, all around good man. Saved me money.

[@Snypersystem186]

Had this issue with my 2014 impala and actually took it to the dealership. They were supposed to replace it and now the check engine light is back on and I checked with my OBD II plugin. I have that exact code and I have trouble starting it after putting gas in it. Could it go so bad after replacing less than a year ago? Or could it be something else? I read something about the canister. Thanks for the super informative video. Following you now.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Excessive gas fumes can really be a headache. 🤣

[@livegooddad]

Yep figured it was this and the video with the comments confirmed it. Mine however was located on the top of the engine by the air intake. 2016 Chevy Impala LT Limited so if you have this kinda Impala that's where it's at and it is the same part he shows in the video not the other purg valve the have...or guess it could be but mine was the same he has shown.

[@sauribriceno4278]

This guy is the best he just save me $$$$$ big bucks I had exactly the same problem and I fixed it for $68 and I didn’t in 30 minutes

this problem just came up on my vehicle and the video was informative. if you gave an estimated completion time of all jobs for DIY that would be great 👍

[@josec346]

I got that same code yesterday after filling up my tank . I’ve noticed my car abit hesitant when trying to turn on few times . Mines says Small leak detection . Would that be the purge it self or the hose ?

[@dominickbegaye600]

For the coolant reservoir fill line does it have to used the pbc in between the fill line hose ?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Ok. When the purge selenium should not be “sucking “ right or at least not on start?

[@Danko88]

Thank you answered all my questions about this, crazy thing when I took off the part the hose connects to it had no rubber O ring to seal it. Put a O-ring on and codes fixed. I am still scratching my head on where the O-ring went.

[@DoubleDeeOGee]

My car got the same engine warning and trouble starting when I fuel up. Glad I saw This going to try this fix tomorrow. Got a question though. If I’ve had this problem for a few months would this also cause a problem with the alternator?

What is the purpose of the purge valve or solenoid?

[@lowkey4289]

My check engine light came on and scanned code and got the p0442 code , would this cause my remote start not to work?

[@OzMechanics]

Some vehicle manufacturers disable remote start when the check engine is one. Hope this helps

[@thedeadmanfan09]

I have p0442 as well as p0171/p0174 running too lean. Would this still be the solution for those codes or something else?

[@allenleavell2847]

So, I have a 2015 Chevy Impala like this one, and I've been hearing sort of a tapping noise that sounds like it could be coming from the purge valve. The check engine light does come on intermittently, and I went to Auto Zone and they said it was throwing the P0171& P0174 codes. Could it be a bad purge valve? I know these cars are notorious for these things going bad.

[@jimtom4878]

Too lean air

[@mvic61191]

Does anyone know why this would happen multiple times? I replaced the valve twice now and this one is already ticking and the cel is on again. Is there something else that could be malfunctioning?

[@floresanthony2161]

Hey how can I get the part number for a traverse 2019 so I can order it this local store price to high or is it worth it?

[@jgarciajr979]

I would have never guess that. Good job

[@OzMechanics]

Jose Garcia as soon as the customer told me what it was doing on the phone I was already ordering the part

[@M1zt3ry813]

would that also cause it to not start with the remote

[@MrBodean2010]

Yes

[@ms.vicious1872]

Why does my code reader say p0442 evap small leak gas cap might be lose? What does that mean

[@OzMechanics]

The code P0442 indicates that’s there’s a small leak in the EVAP system. That can range from a torn and damaged hose or a part that might defected. The evap system is a complicated system, but I have a video that explains all the parts that are a part of the system kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXS3aWCXhN50mNE
