Got an evap code, p0455. Checked the vent valve first, that was good. Checked the purge valve next, that was the culprit. Prolly should have done the purge valve first since that one is easier.

And if you are wondering, yes I do put my lips on the valves and blow through them after applying a 12V signal to test.

The purge valve I took off looks fairly new. Definitely not OEM. Says "china" right on it.

Gonna bite the bullet and go pay autozone $45 for a new one because I want to finish this right now.

Get it done yet?:popcorn:
in another thread he said he put gas in it and fired right up, fuel gauge might have been off, I figure it's 50/50 chance
my neighbors tahoe had sat a few months and then wouldn't start I put my fuel pressure tester on it and it had 0, banged on the tank and it started working and has been fine since that was about a year ago.

It would be interesting to compare your pre-fix fuel level with the level after the pump is changed out.

That's when I found out mine was bad! According to the gauge, I had ~1/4 tank when I drove it in the shop to replace the pump. Afterward, I had ~1/16 tank. Ohmed out the sensor and it went to infinity at 1/4 tank and anywhere below. My Tahoe was stumbling from a weak fuel supply, but that was because it was literally out of fuel and not from a failing pump.

There’s so many components to the fuel pump module and no easy way to test them individually- FPR, level sensor, filter, pump- so it’s easier to just replace the whole shebang once that tank is dropped. Kinda crazy.
