ACDelco Professional 214-2149 Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid

AC Delco purge valve work great would recommend

A great and perfect replacement for my 2005 Cadillac Escalade. Great value for product.

This part is identical to what was on my 2006 Silverado 1500 WT, 4.3L V6. However, auto parts stores, including Amazon, will say thta this part does not fit. The recommended part is about $150. The difference is that the new part, is actually a couple of parts. They relocated the filter in hopes of it not clogging with such regularity as this one. That new part costs $150 and is a bit more difficult to install. I figured for $12 I can replace this part 12 times before I match the cost of the new part. Since the first one lasted 6 years, I think I will be OK. They should have issued a recall since they changed the design to eliminate the very common engine code problem. Since they didn't, I decided to go cheap just like they did. This part is easy to replace. You will need a sharp knife, about 4-6" of radiator 5/8" radiator hose, 2 hose clamps and about 15 minutes of time. This part is located on the driver's side - just ahead of the spare tire (on a 2006 Silverado). There is a small tab that you push down, and then you can slide the part off. There is one electrical connection that is easy to pop off - no tools required. Then you just cut the existing hose, slide the 5/8" radiator hose onto your new solenoid, secure with a hose clamp and then slide the existing hose into the other end of the 5/8" radiator hose and secure with a hose clamp - DONE. Goodbye check engine light. I cleared the code with a code reader and then cycled the ignition a few times to make sure that the code was gone. I am so happy that I didn't waste $150 on the new part.

Probably a very good product but we disordered and had to return it.

Amazon's fir algorithm said this won't fit a 2005 Colorado, and that's technically true but the thing fits really well. Here are the issues...First, you have to have the proper, oval-shaped electrical connector. Check; this one has it. And it has to fit the mounting bracket from the original. Check, it fits. Has to hook up to the hose that connects to the original. OK here's the difference.The original has a couple of barbs that hold it on; this one only has one. I tried a heat gun to soften the hose and pull it off, no joy. So I took an Xacto razor saw (a hacksaw would work as well) and cut the nipple off the old solenoid. Committed now :) I sprayed a little soapy water on the nipple on the new solenoid and (fitting a small hose clamp prior to this) slid the hose right on op to the boss on the nipple. It fit snugly, probably didn't need the hose clamp but used it anyway.Offered the whole thing back up to the truck, hooked up the two hoses you have to remove in order to get it out of the truck (squeeze those white release buttons and tug hard to pull them off), hooked up the electrical connector (fits perfectly) and you're off to the races. OK off to the races figuratively, not literally. This is a 2005 Colorado, after all :)BONUS - saved a wad of cash over the OEM recommendation on the GM site (and here). The only difference between this and that is the OEM one has a hose on it. But for a wad of cash I was just fine with putting the old hose back on, thank you very much :)

Fits 2007 Silverado Classic 5.3L Perfect !!!I needed a fix for my check engine light and "tighten fuel cap" message. This seems to be a very common problem with these trucks.I read mixed reviews about this item fitting a 2007 Silverado Classic with the 5.3 engine. After ordering to see for myself, this item is indeed the exact replacement and has fixed my check engine light and the "tighten fuel cap" message.You will need a few feet of 5/8" heater hose and 2 hose clamps to install this because the factory hose is shrink fitted and cannot be reused.First off, disconnect the battery. The canister is located on the back side of the gas tank. Remove the canister and disconnect the fitting on the other end of the hose. You will need to cut this fitting off the factory hose to reuse it. Attach the canister and fitting on to the new heater hose and install back on the truck. Reconnect the battery.The check engine light should reset after having the battery disconnected for long enough. I have not had another error since!Based on the research I have done, these canisters will go bad because of all the dust accumulated due to the factory location. If you want to spend a little more money you can get the updated part to fix this problem here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S2SKIY/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERThis part relocates the vent to where the dust should not accumulate as bad, therefore increasing the life of the canister.

Was easy to install

Replaced old one with the new one, worked perfectly and was easily replaced.
