I took my car 2007 suburban to the dealership. They said I needed the purge Valve. They wanted to charge me $560. I looked it up. Park $50. I watched your video and decided to do it myself. I did it? Save $510. It was exactly how you said it would be. Thank you so much!

[@cherylgodwin4225]

Thank you for explaining the tabs and cover! You did a great job! Most just point to it and don't actually show you the small details that are assumed we understand.

Outstanding to show the "little tab", because some videos don't show the detail so you cannot tell what they are doing. I'm replacing one and just don't want to break any parts. Thanks!!!!

[@kenantyson4166]

Thank you for your informative video and taking time to explain what you were doing and why you were doing it. The entire process took me 30 minutes, including watching this clip before the attempt. Thanks again.

I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! So short and direct to the point!!! No extra verbiage trying to figure out what is the next step! I’ve saved my parents so much money by just buying parts and watching your videos and I do the labor!!! Thank you all!!!

[@a921dji3]

Great video! I did it slightly differently. Thank you for taking the time to show how the final hose clip worked. I chose to remove the canister from the bracket first then turn the whole thing over and remove the hose. I then reinstalled it the same way. 15 minutes tops!

[@1AAuto]

+a921DJI Thanks for the feedback!

This video saved me a bit over the $300 the local shop wanted. Simple and clear instructions. thanks.

Just did a switch on a 2007 Chevy Suburban. Took me about 40 minutes, parked outside of the auto parts store. No special tools required except the Flathead just as stated. Goodbye worst code in the world! Once again, an excellent job on the tutorial guys. Thank you very much.

[@1AAuto]

+neverstopdreeeming Glad we could help! www.1aauto.com

[@chrisalertaalpha4291]

What was the code you were getting?

[@nyc1655]

Did this activate you stabilitrack and abs light?

[@jonathangonzales1668]

Yes was your Stabilitrak and traction control coming on because of this ? Also before you fixed was it idling rough???

[@WatEvasCleva24]

I had to do smog this year but had the check engine light on my 07 Tahoe on, so obviously I had to get that fix. So I went to get that scanned and I had 2 error codes. One was error p0121 and the other was p0455(EVAP large leak). After a couple of hours of google and KZbin videos my dad and I decided to do and inspection of all the EVAP lines. Everything seemed fine, so we went with the idea that this particular valve was the problem. I went to ORiley to buy the valve and asked the guy that help me out about the other code I had p0121(Throttle position sensor error). He told me “ I recommend you buy the Purge valve first because I thing the sensor error is coming from that faulty valve”. Ok so I did that got home installed the new valve ran my truck a bit and BOOM no more check engine light 😊. Check engine light went away by itself while running my truck. That same day went to do smog test and my truck past no problem.

[@larrymor]

On my 2004 Chevy Suburban the manifold cover is secured by a smack hex-headed screw. The purge valve solenoid is located under this cove at the front. It was very easy to replace once I studied the connectors a bit.

[@MarioCentn]

Thank you this really helps you make this job easier

[@Corey2base]

God dang A1 Auto is coming in clutch on everything for my suburban lol. So descriptive. I’m STILL tackling my P0496. Tried the canister thing (using there videos of course) and now I’m doing this. The first thought before trying though is always “Wounder if A1 Auto has a video about it” and sure enough :)

Thanks very much. Those new simple hose connections were a puzzle for this old dog. Now to reset the dash light? I have a 2011 Chevy RoadTrek camper conversion van. So had to remove the glove box attached to the back of the dog house to access the clamps to remove the dog house. That was more complicated than changing the part.

Thank you, this literally did only take me 5 minutes to change. I turned off the check engine light with my scanner, hopefully it will stay off, if not then I guess it’s something else. Thanks for the great video

[@emptech]

I see that on my 2009 suburban, I replaced the solenoid in 2019, 5 years ago, now I'm getting the engine check light. I replaced the solenoid and still getting engine check light. I even reset the code with the code reader and after restarting the engine, the ECL comes on again. Does it eventually reset itself? Thanks - Jim

[@rrod3283]

Do you have a hose that you where explaining about the tab that under it mine broke and in needing to replace it and can not seem to find it anywhere I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out with a part number for it if possible

[@1AAuto]

+Chuck Pershing Thanks for watching! There are no resets or relearns after you replace this part. I recommend trying to clear the code with a capable OBD-II code reader and drive the vehicle for a bit. If the light comes on then you have more issues than just the part. 1aauto.com

[@slamdunkdunk]

Thanks for the video. Its really appreciated. 👍

[@LandonCahow]

So, I have replaced just about everything in this system for my 2007 Suburban 1500 5.3. Starting with the vapor canister, it had blown chunks of charcoal up the fuel vent pipe as well as the vacuum line up to the purge valve solenoid. I used a vacuum on both lines, first going to the fuel vent then the line on the back of the purge valve when I replaced it up at the engine where it was clearly pulling chunks of charcoal out. I then replaced the solenoid and hoped for the best. Seems it is still an issue however, which has me thinking the lines are not fully clear, so I'm trying to find out the process for just replacing the hose running from the vapor canister up to the purge valve solenoid, does this make sense to do, and do you have any thoughts as to what is involved?

[@Carlos-cz8tm]

Siiiiiii hoy lo cambie yo tambien el canister. Gracias man👍

[@aquilesteran4313]

I've changed the purge valve solenoid on my 2013 yukon denali. Will the check engine light go off by itself or do I have to clear it with a scanner please help?

[@RVLPHIEBOI]

Would it be smart to blow air through that hose? I just replaced the charcoal cannister and the vent solenoid on my wife's 07' Suburban and after getting all the charcoal out of the fuel tank vent line the truck filled up with no issues. But now, a P0446 engine light came on. So I am wondering if I also need to replace this Purge Valve.

[@k.o.r.e3997]

If I disconnect the negative battery terminal before and then reconnect when im done installing the new part , will it reset the check engine for that p0446 code ?

[@tbuchd7]

Great video! Thanks!!

[@JoseLuis-fb2kw]

Hello one of my vacuum is broken and I never notice, it’s the vacuum hose that goes back to the engine, Can I replace it ?

[@foundbyferb2687]

So how do you clear the CEL code after the new part is installed? I disconnected the battery first, changed the purge valve, then reconnected the battery and it’s still giving me the CEL code for the evap valve.

[@paulwilkerson5117]

Should you be able to blow through the ends of the perge solenoid or is it totally blocked?

How do I know if the part is working great after I replaced it since the check engine light is still on?

[@The_M-An-M]

You need a code reader. Most local parts shops will scan and or clear your code for you. Otherwise there is no way of knowing other than the truck not having issues any longer.
