Thanks for the great video! Because you showed each step with clear visuals, I was able to fix my own purge valve. You made it really easy Peary! Even for a girl!
Good video. To the point. I just did this test prior to ordering the part and it took maybe 5 minutes. Here is a fun fact. Has anyone commented prior that when you perform this test the check engine light goes off on the dash with the valve disconnected and the engine running. Would be fun to punk the Emissions Test . Thanks for the video.
Hello! fix it ish, First time on your channel. I'm thinking about getting a 2009 GMC Acadia ste-1 I would like to know your opinion on this type of vehicle. It does have 147K mileage, a 3.6L V6 automatic 6-speed
What do you mean if the Evap is bad. You mean the purge valve. I replaced it and the gas cap but I'm still getting the check engine light and I smell gas vapors in the rear of the GMC acadia
Mines not throwing a code its very random mine has a long start then when it fires it runs rough then smooths out. Its happen twice now once after filling up and another in my garage when we were leaving. It probably does it once out of 50 cranks. Talked to my mechanic and this is what he said to replace. So I've got the part ordered and im going to replace mine tomorrow.
When you take it off, check to see if you can blow through it. That will tell you if it’s bad. When you have the hard start it’s that your getting fumes from the gas tank getting into the intake thru that purge valve
fgq82 yeah after you replace the part you need to clear the code with an scanner. Or you can try disconnecting the battery for a bit and seeing if that will get rid of the check engine light.
Hi I got a P0449 P error code for 2008 GMC acadia slt and you know it says for a evap vent solenoid control...ok.. but why does it die completely I give it a jump and starts up I turn it off and it's dead I can't even take the key out coz there's no juice dead completely .. I need help..
That sounds like a complete different problem. If it dies completely with no power after you jump it I’d check the charging system make sure it’s charging properly. Sounds like It could be a bad battery or bad alternator. Atleast that’s where I’d start checking
Thanks for the video. So I replaced the purge valve and put in a new gas cap but I'm still getting the check engine light and I smell gas vapors in the rear of my GMC Acadia. Anyone know what it is. Please lmk. Thanks
Yeah i only found out cause the part # u gave us i cant find at my local napa or oreillys...they carry the wrong one..... Do you have a video onthe O2 censors replacement i gotta do mine....and nobody has the acadia just the traverse and i see there are some differences w traverse vs acadia so im afraid to always follow videos for traverse
Thanks for the great video! Because you showed each step with clear visuals, I was able to fix my own purge valve. You made it really easy Peary! Even for a girl!
Sorry for the typo. Dang auto correct! Easy peasy!
Great video! It's always nice to learn how to replace, but even better when someone like you explains how to test.
tttenney thank you!!
@Rey Carter we really dont cuz we must not be as insecure as u are, u should have full trust or no trust at all and quit sneaking on your partner

Great vlog but I have a question, would you smell gas in your cabin if the evap is bad
Yes on this car the customer did complain about the smell of fumes inside
What do you mean if the Evap is bad. You mean the purge valve. I replaced it and the gas cap but I'm still getting the check engine light and I smell gas vapors in the rear of the GMC acadia

Thanks for the video, I replaced the part but I’m still getting a check engine light.
Does it need to be turned off manually?
fgq82 yeah after you replace the part you need to clear the code with an scanner. Or you can try disconnecting the battery for a bit and seeing if that will get rid of the check engine light.
What does the service tire monitor system mean?
It means that you most likely have a tire sensor that has a dead battery.
Gracias por el video
What was the correct part?? NICE VIDEO!! im having the same issue
singram1978 dorman part # 911-079
That’s the one that worked for me on this GMC Acadia
I been lookn up my local O'Reilly's dont evencarry one yet home Depot does 🤦🏻♀️ crazy
I'm having the same issue, but I can't find the part.
I need a part number please. The part I bought was the wrong fit. 2009 GMC Acadia, SLT, AWD
Dorman part # 911-079
This is the one used in the video
How did you clear code or did it come off on its own
Cleared the code with my scanner.

Thank you for taking the time to unswer my questions God bless
Thanks for the video. So I replaced the purge valve and put in a new gas cap but I'm still getting the check engine light and I smell gas vapors in the rear of my GMC Acadia. Anyone know what it is. Please lmk. Thanks
If you still smell it towards the rear you’ll need to check for any leaks at the gas tank or charcoal canister. Also what code are you getting now?
Does it make a ticking noise when it needs to be replaced?
Yuuuuuuup
Any simpleton can do this one. Try the other solenoid on the gas tank.
Do u have to run car for 50 to 100 miles for the code to reset after being replace
t money you’ll need to clear the code with a scan tool. You can also try leaving the battery disconnected if you don’t have access to a scanner
Did you have to erase the code to turn the engine light off?
rob peters yes I did
Mine ticks like its a fuel injector, is that normal
Yes normally the ones that I’ve seen are pretty loud when they are working.
Do you have any timing chain issues?
Tengo q reset la computadora para q se quite la luz????
Si tiene que borar el codigo de la computadora
Home depot actually carries them 👀🤣 for like 20+ !!!!!
Lol wtf never would have thought honor depot 😂
Yeah i only found out cause the part # u gave us i cant find at my local napa or oreillys...they carry the wrong one..... Do you have a video onthe O2 censors replacement i gotta do mine....and nobody has the acadia just the traverse and i see there are some differences w traverse vs acadia so im afraid to always follow videos for traverse
Is same code p0455 ??????
Anybody know where the vapor canister is on this GMC Acadia?
It's on top of the gas tank, you would need to drop the gas tank
I did replace and fail for the second time. 45 dollar in the garage because I don't have the receipt.
This parts does fail a lot
After I changed my gas cap and the purge valve and I'm still getting that Evap code. What else could it be? Please let me know. Thanks
Did U figure out the problem?? I’m having the same issue
Wat was part number
Luis Fernandez dorman # 911-079
Glad somebody asked, fixing my acadia today and got wrong part initially too.
