Default 2006 Uplander P0449 EVAP Purge Solenoid

Just an FYI, for 2006 model Uplander, replacing the EVAP Purge Solenoid can be done without having to drop the fuel tank. If enough people inquire, I will post my experience including pics and directions.

It was a simple installation, yet slightly frustrating in many ways.

Closely related is the gas cap. Try wrap with saran wrap to clear suspicions. I had a new cap that caused confusion. I wrapped over it and code 0455 is gone.
I will buy a genuine cap.
Bummer.
