Corrects my code P0442

This really solved my problem! I have always had a code P0442 on my truck, after trying a bunch of things this combined with the exhaust valve solved my problem. But I'm 99% sure it was a mistake. I noticed my truck was very rough at idle which was weird because I had changed the spark plugs, coils, air filter, fuel filter, synthetic oil, new gas cap, everything. But damn it now runs so damn smooth I almost changed the engine mounts for having it. I've also noticed that my engine would sometimes fill up with fuel and not start. Which makes sense because this guy sends fuel vapors into the engine to burn out, and it was too much of it that caused it to not start. Holy shit I'm so glad this solved my problem. Now installation. You will need a 10mm socket and a 1/4 or 3/8 ratchet, I would recommend 1/4. And a flashlight. Only 3 connectors and one screw. In the picture I have drawn with a red arrow the front of the car, it is on the side of the engine on the driver's side under the air intake and is bolted to the engine with a 10mm bolt. First remove the battery cable, you seriously do NOT want any sparks around this guy. You see A, B and C, these are the 3 connectors for it. The connector is a clamp with a tiny tab that needs to be rotated 180ยฐ after which the connector can be pulled out. Very easy. B is the pigtail connector, just gently lift the tab and pull out slightly. C-connection was a bit confusing, I had to squeeze it on the sides and then pull it out. Think of the plug as a clock with 4 sides: 12, 3, 6, and 9. You need to squeeze 3 and 9 or 12 and 6 together and then pull them out. And you also have a 10mm bolt, I would use a 1/4 ratchet with no extension, it's easier to maneuver. I solved it from above. I literally sat on my motor next to the battery and then just reached in and pulled it out. All in all, it's actually not hard at all, you can do it :) Just be patient and make yourself comfortable. This was done on a 2004 GMC Envoy 4.2L I6.
