Remove hoses first. Remove bottom screw first when removing valve. Install top screw first when replacing valve. Replace hoses after valve is anchored.
I just got P0497 and p0158 both at the same time today! Hopefully I can fix it soon after I do my full research and go to the shop knowing more than less of the situation
Well p0158 is normally related with an issue with a oxygen sensor on bank 2 sensor 2..but if the purge solenoid triggering code p0497 is stuck open that could cause a vacuum leak causing the voltage on that oxygen sensor to be high in response..so i would focus on code p0497 first
I was chasing my tail in circles with my cold-start idling issues forever. I thought I needed a new canister but it turns out all I actually needed was this $35 valve, a screwdriver and 15 minutes.
@@MooMoo22 Turns out I was wrong. The sputtering idle is still a thing but my old valve was definitely stuck open. I have the P1457 too and the only way I know to get rid of it is to replace the purge and check valve ON the EVAP canister itself.
with a code of P1457 on my 02 civic, i thought the whole system was near beneath the car near gas tank. Didn't think it was near the air intake box. I bought like the charcoal canister and 2 other pieces related to it. Should I replace the whole system, or just the part in question related to the code I am receiving?
When replacing get oem from Honda if you can it’s only like 10 bucks more than auto shops. Trust me I cheaped out the first time and it stopped working after two months. Went with oem after that
Could a bad purge valve make a whisteling noise? I noticed that started to happen a little before check engine light came on. I know it was a evap code but didnt right down the number
Thanks for the great video. I want to connect the vacumm gauge to measure engine vacuum . I was advised to connect it to the purge valve. Any suggestion. I connected it after the green sevice valve with T but got no reading
Well normally with stripped phillips screws i use something to slot the screw so i can use a flatblade screwdriver to remove em..but in that area thatd be hard to do..so i would either remove the bracket or throttle body to have better access to do that and get the screws off
was the engine code reset after replacement or did the code go away on its own after replacement? Doing this repair this weekend after getting the p0497 code.
I have a 2002 civic ex hard starting it sometimes doesnt start. Replaced ect sensor, fuel pump, coil pack. Stll with same issue. another utuber said its the purge valve but i dont have a check check engine code for that. Is it possible not to get a code for purge valve?
That could be many reasons, very unlikely itd be a purge valve to be causing those issues, for it to be causing that it would trigger a check engine code...i would lean towards a sticking idle air control valve..i have a video that explains how it works and how to check em..and that could make it hard to start ruclips.net/video/Bxm-LabXdcI/видео.html
You have a problem with it reoccurring? Bought a new one(same as yours, not oem) and it still comes on but only If I go over 60 for longer than 5 minutes
No, ours has stayed off since...yea u might have a small leak somewhere else in the system..maybe check gas cap condition and any hoses near canister and vent valve
Well it depends on the bit(some bits come 1/4 and others 5/16..so u can use any 1/4 socket or 5/16 socket to a ratchet..on that one it was a 1/4 bit, so a 1/4 socket to a 3/8 ratchet
My 2005 Honda Civic lx will turn off if I open the gas cap while running. It takes a while to start every time I fill up. Do you think this is the cause ? I replaced the whole canister assembly. I used a parts yard replacement but still no luck. Before I start buying all new components I hope this is the cause
Yea that might be an issue with the purge valve..as u fill up if the purge valve is stuck open itll allow all those vapors into ur engine basically over riching the fuel mixture making it hard to start or not wanna start at all...also if u open the gas cap ur allowing it to create a huge vacuum leak so yes thatll also cause it to stall
Could the plug for the purge valve also go bad? my car has 325,000 km and the evap code keeps popping up even after i changed the purge valve, i went to the scrap yard and grabbed a couple and the engine light still comes on. idk what to could be because it’s the same code “P0497 Small evap leak”. what do you think it could be? what should i replace?
Cant say for sure..there can be many things that can trigger a code..could be as simple as the gas cap is bad..or wasnt clicked in properly..to a hose that has a small tear or yea that valve etc.
Mine got the code, I replaced the purge valve and it still throws p0497(2005 civic LX). Driving highway it doesn't come on. Only driving around town. Could the new purge valve have been bad or is there another issue?
If i remember correctly its above the transmission just above a radiator hose there will be a hose connected from one side going to throttle body..but that was on a 2006 so it should be pretty similar
@@backyardchevy328 I actually found it underneath the car, right above the rear wheel axle near the fuel tank. Had to get underneath there and pull off the entire canister housing to replace it. It's the exact same part though. Thanks for the quick reply and awesome video quality!
@@backyardchevy328 I think it's stripped, I gave it 2 good sprays of WD-40 luckily one of them came off great but this one just isn't having it, I'll have to do that though
@@backyardchevy328 Alright. My car is throwing a code for the Evap Canister. Before this it was throwing a code for the EGR valve. I replaced it, and the code is still on the scanner (after removing it when fixing the egr valve) but now there is an evap Canister code along with it now.
@@anightride9617 well the evap canister code probably isnt related..cause the evap canister normally has to do with the canister vent valve(the one near evap canister) having some sort of problem..being the valve is stuck or the hose may be damaged or cracked...while the egr could be problem with egr valve..the passage may have some obstruction etc
@@backyardchevy328 not sure, but when I replaced the egr valve I sprayed carb cleaner into the holes and it seemed to clean it back up pretty nice, there was a lot of carbon build up in there. I started the car without the valve on only for a couple seconds so it could spit the carb cleaner and gunk back out. The engine seems to be running smoothly and normally.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, sure beats the 400 $ my mechanic quoted me
Definitely🙂 glad to be able to help

The 2 bolts holding it are rusted.. how can I take them off? And if I can not what are my options?

Do I have to vacuum out a new Denso valve before replacing it or is it ready to go?
Thanks 5:20
The wire harness on my purge valve can come off without pressing a clip, is this bad news?
Also what brand should I go with? Duralast or dorman?
NEITHER, both junk Denso!
Is this where the CANISTER PURGE VALVE would be on a 1999 CRV HONDA ??
I’m kind of worried I just changed mine and it didn’t make the click sound, and a squeaky noise started

Hopefully it does...good luck🙂👍
Did it fix it?
P1457 is not a purge valve?
You have a problem with it reoccurring? Bought a new one(same as yours, not oem) and it still comes on but only If I go over 60 for longer than 5 minutes
No, ours has stayed off since...yea u might have a small leak somewhere else in the system..maybe check gas cap condition and any hoses near canister and vent valve
Did your check engine light clear right away after replacing solenoid valve ?
I reset it manually with my scanner, it stayed off after that
My check engine light cleared right after I plugged in my diagnostic machine
I hope it's the same for 2002 Civic...
Is this the same for 03 Acura el 1.7L
Yes, they share the same engine
At 2:45 , what size socket did that bit fit into? Or is that socket a special one for bits only?
