This whole truck is slowly going to shit.Unless you have a wiring problem in that circuit, a new purge valve on the engine should cure that.

It’s all just maintenance Tony. The older they get, the more maintenance they need. Kinda like women.This whole truck is slowly going to shit.
At least there's no rush on fixing that one... Down stream sensors do nothing for engine or fuel management or performance. Just there to tell you if the cats are still there and working.Wife got check engine light coming home today from 1.5 hr trip. P0157 code. View attachment 384949
I had one of these last week.. d’oh..! I’ll be looking for a solution as well. If my damned back would get a tiny bit better, I would be able to do a lot more.Quick scan and go this morning...
This is why I keep my Zurich scanner in the center console.
So I don't even have to get out in the unusually heavy downpour, go inside to get the scanner, just to find out the CEL is only the P0442 code (one stored and on pending) I can ignore for now. Off to work I went, with no worries!
Looks like the Purge valve replacement took care of my "Tighten Gas Cap" messages and CEL codes for Large Evap Leaks, but looks like I'll be checking vent/canister/tubes when warm weather returns next spring...

I feel your pain Sam. I was leaning over for a few hours fixing the Vic. My lower back is aching too. Getting old ain't for the weak brotha.I had one of these last week.. d’oh..! I’ll be looking for a solution as well. If my damned back would get a tiny bit better, I would be able to do a lot more.
I love my Mechman ( I went with Black) that I installed several years ago. Still running great.Installed a MechMan 240 amp alternator and some 1/0 copper cables and replaced the window motor and regulator on the front passenger door.
