Re: Purge valve placement

I believe that goes on the left (as you're looking at the engine) side of the upper intake and hooks up to the sensor of the back of the upper intake, and comes forward behind the alternator.

I think there's a plastic line that hooks up to it as well on the other end. If you can't figure it out by the time I get off work ill look at my car for ya.

Thats your Evap sensor , if you have Hptuners you can delete it out if you wanted.

I swaped motors from an 97 camero to my 01 firebird would that make a difference

hptuners is something you plug into your obd port to change the factory settings on your cars computer, to simply put it.

it doesnt matter what engine is in the car, just what ecm you used, 97 or 01'

Purge valve placement

Is there anyway to bypass the purge valve and evaporative emission? I'm tired of getting the evaporative emission code and nothing I do fixes it. Thanks.
