    Emissions Test Issue

    It threw the original P0449 code on a previous valve (if that's the one atop the engine) and three weeks later on the replacement. I guess it took three weeks for the system to come back to ready. So perhaps it might be something in the canister end of the system.

    Emissions Test Issue

    MikeZ71, On a quick peek on the status today I did see some "No"s listed but didn't write them down. On the procedure that you posted, does that have to be done from a clean reset or do it anytime after some driving? Also in the linked article it mentions "EVAP Service bay test". Can you shed...

    Emissions Test Issue

    I don't believe the readout on the error code, P0449, (prior to the emission test) mentioned O2 sensors. It mentioned vent solenoid control circuit. From reading that a code reset erases other data, I am assuming that the emission test "not ready" report on the O2 sensors could be related to the...

    Emissions Test Issue

    MikeZ71, Holy cow! So if someone took their car to a shop for a check engine light and the shop changed some parts related to the problem code and reset the light, would I be wrong in assuming that they just send the vehicle out "saying let's see how that goes" without that procedure?

    Emissions Test Issue

    It's hardly possible to drive 55 on highways here without getting run over. It showed three "not readys" ; Evaporative system, oxygen sensor and oxygen sensor heated. The code reset was related to Evap system. Deleted comment after reading other posts.

    Emissions Test Issue

    "Not ready" was reported as a failure and 90 days to retest. I don't know what happens if it's not ready again.

    Emissions Test Issue

    The "vapor canister purge valve" was swapped out for a new oem replacement and the code reoccurred three or so weeks later. GM called it vapor canister purge valve # 12597567. Funny thing is that they call the part in the rear under the truck a vapor canister vent valve (very similar name)...

    Error Code P0449-00 On 2008 Tahoe

    I swapped out the vapor canister purge valve solenoid (atop engine) about three weeks ago after a code reset and all seemed good with no code until today when the P0449 code came back.

    Emissions Test Issue

    Back on this. Going back, a P0449 error code occurred and was reset just before the the emission test at the start of this thread so I assume that is why the EVAP "not ready" reports came at the emissions code. As a shot at the code, a new oem vapor canister purge valve (atop engine) was...

    Emissions Test Issue

    Thanks guys, The readiness readings were buried deep in the "OBED" menu rather than the "Scan" menu. Got an objective now including putting some more miles on since the previous reset.

    Emissions Test Issue

    I don't have anything that looks like that. When I scan for "other codes" (vs current) some of the readings say "not tested" since last start. Maybe that is a clue. I'll research if it has readiness status reports though. Darned thing (Autel MD906 Pro) didn't come with a manual but there...

    Emissions Test Issue

    I don't ever recall seeing where to look to if anything is "not ready" on my reader. Any idea where to look? I generally just go to read current codes and lately the report is "no codes".

    Emissions Test Issue

    I recently had an error code related to small evap leak and circuit failure. I cleaned the gas tank filler neck and cleared codes about a week ago. No codes have returned. I went in for the biannual emissions test today (plug in test) and it failed because it noted three "not ready" notations...

    Coil pack test - Is there an easy way?

    I used to fix things that weren't broken and often made them worse. I learned to get past that habit. I guess if I had spares I wouldn't worry about their condition until I needed them which seems to turn out to be never for me. As a followup, my original coils are 16 years old and have not...

    Average MPH

    listing 1060 hours for over 123,000. Does it reset the hours when the battery is disconnected?
  18. EddieC

    Average MPH

    I guess I haven't been paying attention because I just divided my 16 year odometer reading by our Tahoe's engine hours reported on the dash readout and apparently I've been cruising along at about an average of 116 mph, FOR 16 years. Obviously that didn't happen so should I presume that the...

    Utility Cart?

    That would be an improvement on FedEx in my area. I have had several FedEx shipments go missing and I never found a way to get them admit that they delivered to the wrong address or that inappropriate behavior occurred.

    Utility Cart?

    I have a Craftsman rolling tool chest that would serve that purpose so a step down is the intent.

    Utility Cart?

    Thanks but I think wider shelves would be more useful and I'm guessing 20" shelves are going to be pretty expensive but maybe an AV cart like some suggested would be an option. For Rubbermaid, I ran across a Strongway brand that looks just like the Rubbermaid except less expensive but...

    Utility Cart?

    Narrow it down; Only specific ones that people have had good experiences with. (That rules out HF)

    Utility Cart?

    I didn't give a description as that would limit what people suggest based on good experiences. The only stipulation was open shelved meaning not a rolling tool chest.
