Question
NickS
Ok, wife called me an told me check engine light came on this morning on her way to work. I told here to pull into autozone, and it was P0449.
it says,
Check connector and wiring
Purge or vent solenoid defective
Fuel saturated vapor canister
Failed EVAP Solenoid
From my searches, it is probably the solenoid (seems to be common in chevys). I tightened the gas cap and will see in the morning if maybe that was it. The problem is, I have searched thread after thread, and no one has posted the part for the solenoid, price, or instructions to fix on a 2007 Tahoe. Some people have said that it is around $98 (on '06 Tahoe) and $32 (on other vehicles) I type in "2007 Tahoe vent valve solenoid" and it brings up some sites and even ebay, but when I click on the item description, it shows for like 40 vehicles except 2007 Tahoe. It goes throgh the years but skips mine. Goes from 2007 silverado, to 2007 Chevy suburban, to 2007 Yukon, and on to 2008's. Does anyone have the part number I need to look for?
Also, how hard is it to install. From threads on other year models, it is like a 20-30min install. I'm just trying to find where it is located because some other threads, a couple of people on there (older year model tahoes and silverados) just pulled it off and sprayed compressed air and wd-40 in it and put it back together and light went off. I will probably try this first, but just need to find the damn thing.
Is there anything else I should check?
By the way, this is an '07 Tahoe with about 70,000 miles on it
Thanks
