CEL; evaporative emissions valve (or vent) intermittent

What does it mean? It was either valve or vent, I couldn't remember which one but when I look up this code I can't find it, only similiar codes and the only thing I can think of is the EGR...

Thanks,
Danny

Maybe the purge valve for the canister?
I did a post on this regarding GM part interchangability..

Clean the pressure sensor or get a new one (in the evaporation control system)

Hmm, and where is that? I couldn't even find it in the service manual

Find it? haha.

Now my freakin car doesn't even crank. Grr, as soon as I start making progress something else randomly happens.

been away from DT for a few days, but does your car still not even crank now? motor doesn't turn over at all?

It does now, but the car likes to stall when I'm cruising and let off the gas for a redlight or whatever, doesn't do it every time though. When my polished TB comes I'm going to do that, and probably seafoam some stuff as well to get rid of that possibility

my girls car did the dame thing kinky (stall when you let off the gas), for hers its was the idler air controle valve. its some thing you might want to look into.

If the valve/selenoid curcuit is open what could that do?

Anyone know where the pressure sensor in the evaportation control system is?

I think I found the charcoal canister but I don't think there is any type of sensor around it.

Now I'm getting a camshaft postition sensor error too..

Not sure, I just got a call from my mechanic about it briefly. When I scanned the car a week ago I didn't have it though.

lol I also lost my AIT sensor
