2001 Silverado Vent and Purge Valve help
I purchased the vapor canister vent valve and purge valve as the service engine light has been on and this are the contributors. I need help with the location of these and how to access/change them in my garage. It appears that they may be by the fuel tank and I don't know if I need to lift the box or something to access them. It is the 5.3L V8.
Thanks! Last edited by clauritzen; 11-27-2014 at 12:10 PM. |

Re: 2001 Silverado Vent and Purge Valve help
If the truck has the 262 V-6 the purge valve is near the right rear of the intake manifold, and should be easily identifiable by the plastic line with the purge test fitting attached to it.
For V-8s, the purge valve should be on top of the plastic upper intake, just behind the throttle body and slightly to the right (passenger side).

Re: 2001 Silverado Vent and Purge Valve help
How about the vent valve? Is that underneath by the gas tank?

Got the purge valve on the motor swapped out. That was easy once I knew where to look. Now some help on the vent valve needed.

The EVAP canister is mounted along the inside of the left frame rail, just ahead of the fuel tank. The purge valve and its filter are mounted just forward and above that.
