EVAP Canister Solenoid - 2006-2013 3.5L Chevy Impala (P0449, P0455, P0442)

[@lexor84]

Thank you guys!!! My gas cap had been replaced 3 times and never did they test that solenoid. I went to autozone, bought the part, and did it myself. Problem fixed!!!

How did you clear the engine light?

[@Mike-zm8jm]

Thanks for the video. I drove the left side of my car up on the curb in front of my house. Plenty of space to work. Did it in about 18-20 minutes. Easy to replace after watching this. I encountered an enormous amount of rust and zero dirt. I guess I run over too many puddles lol. Wash out the dirt and cake on the rust. The rust was so bad that I thought you guys were wrong with the 10mm bolt. My docket wouldn't go on the nut. But that was because of the excess rust lol. You guys definitely made disconnecting the hose look easier than it was. That was a struggle for me. But overall this video helped alot. Thanks again.

Thank you! I followed this video and fixed my EVap leak on my 2007 impala. I feel great that it is working now.

[@ajw148]

did this today, knocked it out in about 15 minutes. thanks for the how to.

[@zdp-189]

Did you have the P0455 mass evap leak code? Seemed to light the check engine forever in our 2008 Impala, think this is the first thing to replace to try and get rid of it? Gas caps seal tight so im figuring this. On other note, constant ABS/Traction reduce power problems, I replaceed the gas pedal/Pedal position sensor- unless it broke 2 years later maybe this is the wire, or the wheel speed sensor? Ugh, so many problems with electronics in GMs

Is that the case and did it fix your issues with starting up????

Very good video. we replaced this with ease once we figured out the clip.... could another video be made that gives a close up of how to release the clip on the connector. That small piece was a nightmare for the mechanically challenged.

I’m working on it now and my only problem is my wire harness is missing the other half and I don’t know what to do from there

[@jalouda.r8469]

You guys should do a video on replacing the shock absorbers and rear control arms.

[@LemurMonitors]

Maybe I will suggest it to the Media team and see what they say.

[@EvolGamor]

My lines may be clogged, either I replace or blow compressed air through them. Also my 2008 impala always clicks off every couple seconds when pumping gas. I found out my fuel fill neck on my vehicle is rusted. That could mean the fume line may be clogged so I will replace that, but also there is another canister in the fuel tank. I’ve read that it is likely the canister within the tank itself, and not this canister or the purge. Wild. Hopefully I made something clear for someone.

[@grahamconway1548]

Another question, at the time my engine light came on my 2013 LT Impala I noticed on the same day my remote car starter will not activate to start the car,??

[@essiekelly8553]

I have a 2012 Impala, hopefully this works for me.

[@mrwnking]

Ya, that's not always what fails. It also could be your purge valve. I replaced that part, and that wasn't it, I had to replace the purge valve.

[@feeneysmechanical6215]

If you put the left rear tire on a 4x4 block of wood you have more room to work under the car. The 4x4 block of wood will hold the car. Now putting the tube into the rubber hose. Use valisine makes it easier to install. Now at the electrical connector. One wire will have power at all times with the key in the on position but not running. Ground side switched by the ecm

Had a question, i just installed a new evap canister filter, and now its showing fuel pressure sensor low voltage, could it be i have a bad evap canister filter? It's a 2008 impala ss, also i instaled a new feul pressure sensor, and still shows same ,checked all wiring and all are proper voltage ,again nothing came on until i installed the new evap canister filter, could you help me please, thank you for your time,.

I have difficulty adding fuel to the tank, could the whole EVAP system be culprit? I haven't ran codes yet, but i suspect the whole system is probably dirty and clogged, also probably have a permanent code as well.

So, at first I had a P0455, cleared that.. was fine for a while and now I've got a P0449. Haven't done any work with those two codes yet. It all started with a misfire code. That hasn't come back. Although I know there is still a misfire.. it just hasn't coded since I've been gentle with the car since. Any thoughts here on this?

[@LemurMonitors]

For the codes, both point to the canister vent solenoid If the car is 08+ you can get your mode 6 data for misfires, but if they're bad enough they should be throwing a P030x code

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

my check engine light has been on for about 2 weeks and i was getting this message so i bought the part to do the replacement.

[@TheHipHopolypse]

HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!! So I only have the P0455 code on my 2007 3.5 L Automatic Impala LTZ. NOW... what typically happens is that my car drives really slow at first and then slams in to second gear pretty hard. Almost seems like a transmission issue. I also have just over 200 thousand miles. Would the P0455 code sometimes make your car drive that way? Like I have trouble switching lanes because there’s no give in my car in the first gear B4 it eventually slams into second gear!

[@_JohnDo]

That's a transmission problem. Common on the 4t65e

[@TheHipHopolypse]

Zeke Mohrman not at all we determined it’s exactly this. Not a transmission problem at all as initially thought. It was this evap celanoid hose lol you’d think it would be transmission. THIS PART WAS THE ISSUE ^
