Emission culprit
This topic has been on the table several times,however i think is better to refresh the issue again......
Since i bought my horse back in november'08 the engine light has been an ghost following me every time i get into VX.
Ever since i had almost all emission components replaced such as cut off valve,vent solenoids (front & rear) & gas cap;The last part replaced was the charcoal canister which I did two weeks ago;All electrical conectors were tested along with the hoses & all of them are working perfect
After all that i thought my ghost would go away.but the very next day the canister was replaced my light pop up again (damn it) so that same evening
i call my mech to report the issue he said Gus,the last piece of the puzzle is the VSV (vacuum solenoid valve)
So i proceeded to reset the ECM,unpluged the VSV conector & drove the horse for the last four days with no light poping at all.
Is this VSV the guilty guy ?
How prone is VSV to fail ?
Then i tried to remove it,but found no way to get that S.O.B. oute there.
Do any of my fellow VX pals dealt with this VSV before ?
Need a how-to remove this VSV please.
Thank you !
Update :
Heading back to my house the light pop up.
Went to autozone to get the reading but was too late ( autozone don't run code reading after 6:00pm ) so i clear up the light (again) will see tomorrow.
