GM Vapor Purge Valve

[@RegisReplacement]

Thank you for your clear voice and detail as well good visual. I have 2005 GMC Yukon Denali got latter code 0496 one day after filling gas tank. Thought it might be gas cap. Tightened, cleared code and day later back to code. Of course, I said WTF. Searched online code and then asked my mechanic if through experience could it be the purge solenoid valve in engine which I would do myself. Was hoping he would just attach his more detailed obd reader. Instead, he suggested smoke test. I rather go simple 1st instead of expense. I appreciate you identifying the difference in the codes. I will test purge valve myself by blowing thru it and see if air flows which would tell me its stuck open. For what its worth also saw a video where you can disconnect hose and electrical to valve, start engine, wet your finger and place finger against opening in valve and if there is suction than its a faulty valve. Anyway thanks again for your video identifying code. Cheers Michael

Thanks for posting this video, I could not figure out how to get the clip off. After watching this, it was a 5 minute repair. Feeling good!

[@michaelcummins2464]

Thanks for the video. It's basically in the same spot on my saturn vue and looks almost exactly the same. The video really helped out. The repair shop wanted $120 for them to fix this. I can fix it now for only $25 for the part. So thanks

[@Rustytales]

On the 2002-2006 Avalanche, this solenoid was inserted directly from above into the intake manifold vertically at one end and a hose snapped onto the other end. It was easy to repair. On the 2007 Avalanche, this solenoid is mounted on the side of the engine in a less serviceable location and has a second hose running to it from the intake manifold. So now this solenoid is in a less convenient location and there is one additional connection. As usual, "improved" serviceability and "increased" reliability.

[@tinawilder]

This video was very helpful. Feeling accomplished after replacing it myself. Thank you!

[@Mands889]

Very helpful about the remote start not working when check engine light is on. My remote start has not been working for months. Which, is about the same amount of time I have been staring lazily at this check engine light. I never associated the two and simply figured my remote start died or was fried or whatever. Now that I have replaced the solenoid, and rest the code, I’m excited to test me remote start again as I always enjoyed that function

[@brianh3347]

Thanks for the video! Took about 5 mins to swap out after watching it. Would have taken MUCH longer without it.

[@bruceak04]

Very helpful. I have a 1989 camaro and had to replace the charcoal purge canistor, evap valve and evap solenoid. Unfortunately they do not make a replacement for that year 89-92. Its an odd combo parts. It is a combo solenoid and cannistor set. The seperat tank line valve is still made. As is the vent valve next to the actual fuel tank. I used te newer model 1993 camaro evap solenoid (same part that was used in this video) and a basic round GM charcoal cannistor with the tank, intake and air ports on it. This video confirmed that the grey end goes to the intake/tbi and the black end comes from the charcoal cannistor via an additional short hose section i had to supply to connect the cannistor port to the solenoid port(back end) and grey end to the intake line.

[@BrownNDicker]

Same part I need to replace. Glad to see step by step and what to do. Big ups ☝🏽

[@DS-wk6vh]

Just wanted to say did an excellent job on explaining on how to take out purge valve and install new one I had seems like exact same problem. I did break one of the clips but only cause it’s like 20° out here in Massachusetts. You couldn’t have explained it or showed it any better thank you

[@crl4392]

This video was spot on with my 07 Silverado. Very appreciative. Thank you so much !

[@alexj625]

My Tahoe had the check engine light on and I did this and it didn’t go away so I was going to go back to auto zone to see why and half way there my engine light disappeared all I had to do was to drive the truck for a little and it went away.

[@lazarotamargo8110]

The purge solenoid is the one up front. The vent solenoid is the back one by the canister. I could be wrong I'm not a technician. But good job figuring your problem out. Very informative.

[@jerzyprzeslakiewicz5428]

You'r very right.

[@cal.5027]

Thank you for this video! Helped me out very much! Could not figure out how to release the horse shoe clamp part out .. almost broke it until you mentioned you just push to release..

[@h.camacho4800]

So that's how it releases, you're a lifesaver thanks bud

[@coache1nine]

Good job!! I've replaced so many of these, I know the part number by heart

[@bryanwillis3723]

Awesome video I have a 2007 chevy avalanche so this was extremely helpful I'm putting this exact thing in my truck

[@TopBluePitts]

Great detail on how to from beginning to end of video! Thanks

[@davidyaeger5655]

Thx mine jus went out yesterday. 3/23/19. I'm going to replace it with a action Delco instead. Thx for the video this will help in the next day or two..... gave a thumbs up.

[@nickrendall6572]

Thank you for a video that's right to the point and clear to follow...

[@univac7677]

I just changed this in my 07 Colorado. Had to take the front drivers side tire off and then plastic firewall and it was up against the engine block. I was getting a p0446 error code. Looks like the same part. Much harder to get to on the Colorado.

[@stevensobel]

Very helpful in explaining the clips, 5 minute video, 5 minute job. Thank you!

[@ghamm777]

Awesome video thank you so much this was the problem on my 08 Avalanche

[@mwestervelt]

perfect man ...I couldn't figure out to disconnect it ….thx so much

[@mstrickland7158]

Good job sir! Thanks for the assistance.

[@19laru]

Good video.. what is the part number you used on the back?

[@dionway3552]

Thanks you made it so easy mines was right on top of the engine on my 5.3 motor

[@SSJBart-jb5dw]

2:13 how do I disconnect that type of end on the hose? I don’t know where to push or pull.

[@VellaEwing917]

Thanks I really appreciate it, I learned a lot and may can try it myself

[@clusterfocked]

It's one of the last sensors to get read by the OBD II. Took me about 5 days of driving to finally get it to set. I had the same problem with my 06 silverado 5.3.

[@jorgesantiago9679]

clusterfocked: so the light went away after you replaced it after you'd been driving it for a while? I replaced mine and not sure if I have to manually turn it off or just wait it out to see if it goes back to normal

[@samuraijose817]

@@jorgesantiago9679 manually do it. So you can tell if its gone or not by the time you drive 50 miles

[@maurice6288]

thank you youtube I fixed mine for only 60 bucks for the part but the old one was shot on my chevy traverse

[@seadogg5416]

Great Video, Thanks Bill....Very Helpful

[@seadogg5416]

2008 Silverado 1500. Had a p0496 evap System... Changed Purge valve up front like this and no more chk engine Light....

[@HectorMartinez-vg4uy]

Defenely your video is helpful really appreciate and people like you who's make video to share with others I really appreciate

[@bjdrumgoole3935]

This helped me a lot . I have the same issue with my Tahoe

[@bobk3686]

How long before check engine light went off ???

[@iccus62]

I replaced mine forv18 bucks. I hought the cheap chinese part and it worked for a while and then failed.....but then it started working again.. The oem part was 51 bucks. I would suggest getting the oem part.

[@davidalvarado3858]

Thank you for the video !! That help me a lot

[@deespasojevic3013]

Look at all that room under the hood...nice!

[@jlorenzo39]

Thanks Bill this video really helped to save money.

[@IRONMAN000]

Looks exactly like the one on my 2006 Malibu 2.2.

[@Kp-tz9gp]

Was symptoms were you getting to have to change that part

[@theylied1776]

If the part was $25, they would have added $10 for the part. And $80 for the labor. $115+ tax.

[@deangelowatkins2831]

I changed my purge solenoid but my scan tool still saying it’s not working after I cleared it any advice

[@nosliwttam77]

purge solenoid is in the front, vent valve is in the back. should clean the filter when replacing the vent valve

[@aquilesteran4313]

Which filter you mean, I have a tahoe 2005, it had a problem to put gas in, a Mecanic replaced the canister and the car has the same problem, he say the vent valve is ok and he didnt replaced it.

[@grubthomas4826]

Thanks for your great help, God bless you

[@benjaminpalacios4746]

I had code p0449 and I changed the one in the back erased the code never came back but truck idle little rough The needle bounces up and down do you thing if I change the purge valve will fix it

[@dylanhucik8594]

Any luck? Ive had similar problems just with rich codes p0172/175. Very hard cold starts in cold temps with rough idle. Now looking at this vid and possibly another evap/vacuum possibility.

[@joserivas8692]

Changing mine today.

[@martystevens3969]

Reset codes after repairs.

[@jamesayers1770]

I like your scan tool thanks for your video

[@benjaminpalacios4746]

What was the symptoms for that part

[@D3vilEyez]

I changed mine on my 2012 camaro, will I have to get the code cleared or will the light cut of on it's own?

[@tripleooo9639]

disconnect negative battery cable for about 4 hours to erase it.

[@comebackkid7026]

Please help where is located in a 2002 Chevy Camaro can’t find any videos for it

[@CUATE31NAYARIT]

My avalanche has po449 and po455 so both part are bad.

[@jennifervrlenichrvtlvtcpht4048]

I have same 07 avalanche, no lights on dash, but when I turn key, the starter works, but spins for like 6 to 8 seconds before firing. Could this be the issue with mine?

[@billthomassie6118]

Does it seem to do it when you put gas in the tank? That's what mine was doing. Its allowing fuel to flood the manifold and it won't start until that evaporates.

[@markopolo286]

Fuel pump

[@donadams7469]

I wish my car was that easy have a cavalier bugger is in the back of the engine below cold air manifold can't get to it from below either due to sub frame blargh so I will be having fun at some point

[@3636565]

Great Video, i have the same truck color & all. Just curious, did you find out how to service the TPMS, i saw the message. Thnx again.

[@billthomassie6118]

Never was able to fix the tire pressure sensors. Bought 4 new ones myself, couldn't get them to read, brought to a tire shop (friend), tried THEIRS, and STILL couldn't get them to read or register even with all the right computer gizmos.

[@jcofflimitz]

had to subscribe we have the same car thank you so much 🙏

[@davidyaeger5655]

Besides a scanner or batterys cables taken off. How do u turn off light on dash board. Lmk thx

[@geraldmontoya2791]

Big thanx your a great teacher

[@darkhaze7615]

How does it have to be pushed in

[@nardoP36]

Thanks for the video.....

[@alancoker1459]

Looks easier than the colorado. Exact same part

[@xxgunzgamingxx1279]

whats the name of the white clip and do you have a part number on it..thanks

[@billthomassie6118]

Looks like Doorman (previously "HELP!") has it. (fuel line clip). Check the fix-it aisle of any auto parts store. The rack is usually always the same.

[@ant03609]

Does anyone know the part number for this particular error code.i need to buy one . I can't find part number.thanks

[@billthomassie6118]

This particular one was Duralast PV443. Check the video just at the 4 minute mark.

[@ant03609]

Thank you

[@daviddowns7552]

mine was missing clip but i replaced it by sliding new rubber hose over the thin plastic purge lines. erased code.po446. so far im good. car runs better now.

[@sixtysixgroove]

After changing , does something need to be reset?

[@billthomassie6118]

No, its plug and play. The check engine light might need to be reset but it will eventually go out.

[@sixtysixgroove]

@@billthomassie6118 thanks, I just changed it and the light is still on so I'm going to give it some time and and see if it shuts off.

[@GreyWolfAirsoft]

great video! Thank you very much!

[@iamhimnot-them8335]

Grey Wolf Airsoft perfect thanks this too 3 mins

[@iamhimnot-them8335]

Grey Wolf Airsoft perfect thanks this too 3 mins perfect i been ridin with the part for 2mos and thought it was gonna be 100 bucks

[@parales03]

Good work brother!!

[@darkhaze7615]

How do I remove the white clip

[@almackie6104]

We're u getting vapor smells in the cabin of the car?

[@billthomassie6118]

No, not at all.

[@wesleylyon5207]

Great Job. Thanks!

[@amilcarherrera2427]

Is there a risk of gas leaking while changing the valve?

[@billthomassie6118]

Shouldn't be. This is on a vapor line and not the fuel supply.

[@Durango214]

What was the symptoms

[@billthomassie6118]

When filling the gas tank, it would allow fuel to flood the engine manifold. When you turned the key, it would spin really fast but wouldn't fire for a minute or so. Otherwise, it would always start right up.

[@4glokk353]

What about in a Chevy Camaro 2000, I can’t seem to find it lol

[@comebackkid7026]

Tommy Marble did you ever find it I have a Camaro also 2002 bro any help would be great full

[@comebackkid7026]

Can’t seem to find any videos for are Camaro’s

[@4glokk353]

Comeback Kid 702 yah what’s ur email I’ll send you a picture of it

[@comebackkid7026]

Tommy did ever send that pick where it’s located bro?

[@ShredworthyDave]

On my 95 camaro it's right by the oil cap on the engine. Not sure on the 2000s

[@thomasnew8606]

we have a 2007 Tahoe - I hate the tire pressure deal!!!! not a cheap fix (expect $50-$120/tire) I have replaced that purge valve on the engine 2 times both from Autozone...not sure if those duralast models are worth anything great video though

[@ant03609]

What's the part number for the part in this video.. anybody know .I need that part. I have that particular code

[@guacho1cotorro]

real helpful thanks.

[@brianruisanchez1123]

You didn’t exactly showed how to remove the piece.

[@billthomassie6118]

Once you push the clip in, the part simply slides out of the tube.

[@brianruisanchez1123]

Bill Thomassie thanks

[@alancoker1459]

My light hasnt come on

[@joeg.1119]

I have the same problems on my 2006 Chevy Silverado and my 2010 sierra I went to a mechanic he trying to charge me $600 to fix it and I came to KZbin and learn how to fix it my self and save me $1200 on both lmao 😜🤪

[@ant4402]

Faxts KZbin university. 😂 lol

[@GreyWolfAirsoft]

I replaced this part after getting a check engine light code to replace this on my 2004 Silverado and the code still comes up after 2 weeks of driving on the new part. Anyone have any ideas?

[@adamcorn8949]

Thank you!

[@John2verse5]

It could be as simple as changing the gas cap.

[@chaseww]

Not these days it's minimum $44 and up. Everything's crazy prices now with parts and food ECT and the parts are so cheaply made it don't last all. I went through three Purge valves in two years China's effing with us like usual. Pissing us off with cheaply-made crap parts.

[@robertmunguia250]

Just replaced mine and service engine light will not go off! Do I have to reset it manually?

[@billthomassie6118]

I think it takes a little while for the computer to reset the light. It should eventually.

Ok thanks I’ll wait and see.

I save tons of money by switching to Do it yourself videos😂😂 thanks for the video it helped me figuring out the check engine light problem i had the same issue. Now I can go buy the purge valve. If u replace the canister vent valve get the purge valve as well, because that's the next one to go.
