Hey Eric. A lot of us can't afford a scan tool that we have to send in for repair several times a year. Lol In future videos is there any way that you can show without using a scan tool or power probe the easiest optional method for activating things like solenoid vent valves, ac clutches, etc? Or did I just over think this. A fused jumper from battery positive. (For 12v circuit) Right. How about 5v? Thanks Eric. Cash strapped and Always trying to work around needing more than just a code reader with live data, test light and meter. Tanks. Jpol.

The patience you exhibit is unbelievable. Decades ago, I did of lot of my own automotive repairs, even replacing a couple of engines, transmissions, etc. As I get older, I find I have less and less desire to go through the frustration of parts that are next-to-impossible to access, or even to get my hands dirty. I'm so thankful there are still guys like Eric to pick up the slack.

Why not use your Power Probe and power up the solenoid from the connector. Pretty much has to be open after testing the harness though I guess huh? I was a California Smog tech and its reasons like this I quit doing it. Evaporate canisters have to be visually confirmed every inspection. What a crock of shit GM!

I did it a bit differently. Dropped the exhaust off the hangers had it held by a dead pole. Used a trans jack on the tank. Removed the filler neck to gain complete access. Oh. Also left the rear driver side bolt in the hanger for the gas tank, just move it out of the way. This was actually an easy job.

Do you remember if you removed the fuel filler hose at the tank when you did this? Tried lowering the tank but looks like the hose is hitting the cross beam thereby not lowering the tank enough to get access. Tried with jack stands and floor jack but can't get my hands up in there to do much at all.

Great video. Your excellent teaching saved me about 500. Working on the ground gives you different challenges. The rear gas tank straps were hard to get back on especially the drivers side. Thanks again.

Hey. I got a similar code (P0442) and it also read as the EVAP. I bought the part and installed it but it was in the engine bay next to the throttle body. Ate there 2 EVAP solenoids on this car?
