CEL; evaporative emissions valve (or vent) intermittent

Post by kinkyllama »

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)

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

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.. :roll:

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 :lol:
