Default Help!

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

Default different on the Alpha

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.
