How to Replace Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve 1999-2003 Chevy Silverado

Now is gonna be time to get started on our EVAP purge solenoid. That's gonna be located right here under the cover. Use your 8-millimeter socket and remove this bolt. Get this right out of the way. The next thing we need to do is use a nice, small pocket screwdriver, and we're gonna press right along this white piece right here. You'll notice that it presses in towards the black, and then it should relieve this so you can pull it right up and off. Set that aside. Come right under here, there's a little flippy do. You can either grab it with your finger or your small screwdriver, pull it away, and then you should be able to lift that up as well. Next, we're gonna remove our 10-millimeter bolt, and lift this right up and out here. Let's go ahead and get this off of here, put this aside, and I'll put right on our new one. Slide that right over the O ring, and then right over this.

Then we can take this unit. We're gonna carefully slide it down and in here. So that slid right in there, nice and easy. We'll take our bolt, start that in there, and we'll snug it right up. Now, remember that you're just screwing in the plastic here, so when you tighten this up, you wanna have a nice small ratchet, you don't want anything that's gonna apply too much pressure. I'm just gonna put this on till it bottoms out. Okay. Give it a nice wiggle, make sure that it's secure. Once you've done all that, go ahead and start reconnecting it. Got our electrical, and, of course, this. It should slide right on. Perfect. Now, it's time to get the cover on. Just pay attention to those two hookie dos back there and then the two slots on the cover. Line it up so it fits right in, lay this down, then your bolt should line right up. Snug it up. All right, start it up, take it for a road test.
