I had the same code on my 15 Impala. Ordered the part online for $25 and replaced it. Thanks to this video I was able to fix the issue with no more check engine light and issues
This has to be one of the best instructional and educational videos I have watched on fixing an error code. Great video, love the included logic in the video with easy to understand diagrams
Thank you man. I just replaced mine following the instructions in your video and it was super easy. I also did the test and when I blew in it the air was passing through. I tried it with the new one and it was completely solid. I cleared the check engine light and I’m hoping it doesn’t come back.
@@richdevaysolid1 I cleared mine with a scan device. But you can always do it the old fashioned way. Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and connect it again. Doing this should clear all the codes.
@@charleskinkade5380 most likely it won’t. But if you don’t have a scan tool you can always go to any parts store like AutoZone or O Reilly’s and they can clear it for you for free.

Had this issue with my 2014 impala and actually took it to the dealership. They were supposed to replace it and now the check engine light is back on and I checked with my OBD II plugin. I have that exact code and I have trouble starting it after putting gas in it. Could it go so bad after replacing less than a year ago? Or could it be something else? I read something about the canister. Thanks for the super informative video. Following you now.
I’m having the same problem right now it all started a week ago when I overfilled my gas tank at work, as soon as I was done i went back in to started and it made a noise like it wanted to turn in but it wouldn’t but it always starts after like the 3rd try......I appreciate your videos bro I respect your work.
Thank you. This was the best video that I have found for this problem. You let me know exactly where it was, and you showed everything. Thank you. I'll update if this is my problem.
Yep figured it was this and the video with the comments confirmed it. Mine however was located on the top of the engine by the air intake. 2016 Chevy Impala LT Limited so if you have this kinda Impala that's where it's at and it is the same part he shows in the video not the other purg valve the have...or guess it could be but mine was the same he has shown.
I have a 17 premier no check engine light but car has a slightly rough idle and when I’m accelerating kinda putters or struggles could this fix my problem??? Thought it was a misfire and changed spark plugs.. not sure what to do to fix my issue..
I got that same code yesterday after filling up my tank . I’ve noticed my car abit hesitant when trying to turn on few times . Mines says Small leak detection . Would that be the purge it self or the hose ?
Does anyone know why this would happen multiple times? I replaced the valve twice now and this one is already ticking and the cel is on again. Is there something else that could be malfunctioning?
this problem just came up on my vehicle and the video was informative. if you gave an estimated completion time of all jobs for DIY that would be great 👍
Thank you answered all my questions about this, crazy thing when I took off the part the hose connects to it had no rubber O ring to seal it. Put a O-ring on and codes fixed. I am still scratching my head on where the O-ring went.
The code P0442 indicates that’s there’s a small leak in the EVAP system. That can range from a torn and damaged hose or a part that might defected. The evap system is a complicated system, but I have a video that explains all the parts that are a part of the system ua-cam.com/video/cCT8-aOyAbo/v-deo.html
My car got the same engine warning and trouble starting when I fuel up. Glad I saw This going to try this fix tomorrow. Got a question though. If I’ve had this problem for a few months would this also cause a problem with the alternator?
So, I have a 2015 Chevy Impala like this one, and I've been hearing sort of a tapping noise that sounds like it could be coming from the purge valve. The check engine light does come on intermittently, and I went to Auto Zone and they said it was throwing the P0171& P0174 codes. Could it be a bad purge valve? I know these cars are notorious for these things going bad.
Was sup bro I have the exact code problem p0442 I might of thought it was the gas cap cause it did looked bad so I replaced the gas but light engine is still on so could this fix the problem?
@@OzMechanics when I filled it up with gas rhe car would stall out after a jump start. If you can call it that. I also checked for suction in the purge valve..the test you did. Sure enough, after I fixed it all was well except I cannot get that engine light off.
Hi sir How are you? I have impala 2014 check engine light ON when I check bay consult P0175-p0172 full system to retch I Cheka every thing no one can faint the problem I Ching engine temperature sensor and air mass sensor and EVAP and spark plugs and clean the throttle I do everything If you can help me and you have any India please contact with me Thank you Have a nice day ..
@@OzMechanics none the less, Iv found out that impala switched from iacv to this, ok differant, purge valve in around 2005.. now I gotta find out why my purge valve has N intermitNt knocking sound(& yes I switched it a couple years ago - no change)

Did you find out the problem? I’m having that problem now with my 14 and was told it might be a fuel pump
I'm having same issues and changed my spark plugs still having the same issue.
I had a rough low idle. System to lean. This fixed all of it. Great job, great video, all around good man. Saved me money.
Thank You bro i have a 14 impala does a bad purge valve make a clicking sound
Those sound like actuators
I have the same p0442 code on my 2020 Impala. Gonna try the diagnosis on it and if it sucks the tissue in, I will replace the part myself. Thanks.
What was the issue? Mines a 2020 n been thinking to just take it to a mechanic
I got that same code yesterday after filling up my tank . I’ve noticed my car abit hesitant when trying to turn on few times . Mines says Small leak detection . Would that be the purge it self or the hose ?
This guy is the best he just save me $$$$$ big bucks I had exactly the same problem and I fixed it for $68 and I didn’t in 30 minutes
Ok. When the purge selenium should not be “sucking “ right or at least not on start?
Thanks so much for this video i have a 17 impala lt with a small evap leak..you just saved me a bunch of money
Excessive gas fumes can really be a headache. 🤣
For the coolant reservoir fill line does it have to used the pbc in between the fill line hose ?
You removed the plastic beauty cover to reveal more plastic. I smiled. Great camera work and explanations.
Yea that’s all you see now on newer vehicles
Thanks man, going to fix mine up now. Total life savor, great video ❤
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed the video
I have p0442 as well as p0171/p0174 running too lean. Would this still be the solution for those codes or something else?
I have a question I've changed the purge valve and I'm still getting emission code what code it be that's sending me that code again? please help
Did you do the same test as this video ? To verify the purge valve was actually the issue
would that also cause it to not start with the remote
Yes
I have a 2014 Impala LT. I cant find anything in the manual about power steering fluid. Where do you check it at?
What is the purpose of the purge valve or solenoid?
Made a video that explains that and how the evap system works. Hope this helps
ua-cam.com/video/cCT8-aOyAbo/v-deo.html
Does anyone know why this would happen multiple times? I replaced the valve twice now and this one is already ticking and the cel is on again. Is there something else that could be malfunctioning?
What about fuel injector replacement on the same vehicle boss?
this problem just came up on my vehicle and the video was informative. if you gave an estimated completion time of all jobs for DIY that would be great 👍
Hey how can I get the part number for a traverse 2019 so I can order it this local store price to high or is it worth it?
My check engine light came on and scanned code and got the p0442 code , would this cause my remote start not to work?
Some vehicle manufacturers disable remote start when the check engine is one. Hope this helps
Yes. No remote start with engine light on.
Man you are the best you help too many people from all over the world by this video thank you so much we appreciate that
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching
I changed the purge valve, the check eng. light turned off and now came back and still giving the same reading
how long does it take for the check engine light to turn off
Thank you answered all my questions about this, crazy thing when I took off the part the hose connects to it had no rubber O ring to seal it. Put a O-ring on and codes fixed. I am still scratching my head on where the O-ring went.
Why does my code reader say p0442 evap small leak gas cap might be lose? What does that mean

Oz Mechanics very much appreciated buddy, hope you enjoy my channel as much as I'm enjoying your channel. Real good stuff ✊
It helps great on my 2014 Cadillac XTS. Thanks
It seems that P0442 code is the norm with any Impala. I had the same issue with my 2009 and now my 2015.
You’re the man OZ - This was very helpful; I appreciate it a ton 💪🏼🔥
What if there was no suction ? Should I still change out ?
I would do more test. Make sure it’s not sticking intermittent
Good way of explanation , perfect video keep it up
Thank you for watching:)
I replaced mine as well as the gas cap. It’s still throwing this dang code! What do I do?!
And also for Cadillac owners , this is the same engine setup as the 2017 Cadillac XTS
I change that part on 2019 lt impala 4 cylinder and still have same issue.
Well done lad. Excellent video. You helped me.
I did not know how to do this until we watch this video
Can u help me find the transmission control madule? On a 2014 impala
Awesome Videoa right to the point right to the fix !!!!!👏
I just change mine right now and it's still sucking at the air part is not good
Did you buy a dorman one ?
I’m going to take mines off to check to see if it’s closed. I have that same code.
I would have never guess that. Good job
