Gotta love shady second hand dealers...

I called them up and they said they will take care of it since im still in that 15day 500mile window but Juuuuuussst incase they try to **** me i wanna see if my hunch is correct...

Symptoms are, CEL and after filling up the tank it kinda dosent like to start... but it does.

Code is P0496, unwanted vacuum or something, forgot where i put the slip.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Also if they dont follow through does changing the purge valve look like the right course of action? If so whats the best way to change that out... have no desire to take the bed off...

Lastly, when i get my tune done, is it possible to completely tune out the stupid evap system?

Thanks!

 

what is this in?

 

07 silverado ccsb 5.3

 

Purge solenoid is on the intake manifold, vent solenoid is by the tank and neither one rquires pulling the bed.....

 

Yeah thought i saw somewhere to get to the one near the tank that is was on top and required a bed pull to reach lol...

The on on the intake, circular plug looking thing kinda in the middle/back behind that electrical connector item or is it the electrical connector looking thing? First mentioned item has was looks to be a vacuum line going to it.

**Edit**Doh was looking on top of the manifold *idiot*

Found it, little canister sitting off to the side with the green ****...

 

So, i dicked around with the purge and pushed a slightly back off line back on reseated the connector checked the rest of my lines to make sure they are nice and tight and could not for the life of me get the code to throw again...

I even went and did a fill up to see if it would stutter or anything trying to start and nothing...

If this code comes back in a week i'm gonna be piiiiiissssed....

 

i cleand it and clean it with an air gun and it was ok for about 5k miles then it did it agine , i cleand it agine and nothing happend, i think ill buy a new one or delete it with a tune or shouldent I ??

 

I'd try a new one, cheap *** part. $14 at my local warehouse auto shop.

What im gonna do is just drop it off at Chevy after i buy this 36k bumper-to-bumper.

 

Just to close...
i swapped out the valve and everything is good to go, bout 700 miles and no light or stuttering after fill ups.
