So I got the air hoses off but in the process I broke both clips to each hose, could some one send me a link to some new ones or a part #? And also are they the same clip or are they different? Thanks in advance

 

Hey ladies and gents, I know this is an old post but I came across it when I got a P0496 and decided to replace the purge valve. This was all good info except that the purge valve solenoid on the Alpha (5.3 engine) is a lot easier to replace as it sits on top of the engine right under the cover. No need to remove the tire or anything. Just a heads up.

 

The purge valve had a poor electrical connection and you threw a new part at it?

My '07 purge valve is still oe, never received the P0496, yet if I do,
I will open a can and clean connector/contacts.

 

When a 14 yr old $25 part starts to give me trouble, I ain't gonna spend time trying to limp it along, I take the 10 min to replace it and be done with it.

 

Oh joy, another OLD AZZED Thread dug up to post about barely related topic even though you knew it was OLD. READ: Old Threads/'Necro-Bumping'
