Review on ACDelco 12690512: The Ultimate Original Equipment Canister for Superior Performance by Ricky Habbani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ultra-light replacement; unbeatable low price!

Very easy to install and repair. stalled at traffic lights and stop signs, and the remote start refused to even attempt to start the engine. Oh, and the gas tank was a disappointment. Immediately after refueling, you need to let the car "rest” for 5 to 10 minutes before starting. Luckily, I have an OBD reader that says it's recommended to replace the vaporizer canister solenoid, whatever it is. I called several stores and was dismayed that this small part would cost over $300 to replace. So my wife and I went to Revain and found this solenoid for under $30. I watched a youtube video to see how difficult it would be to replace and it looked very easy. So we ordered this magnet and tried it out. In less than 15 minutes my wife and I, amateurs, replaced the defective part. The problems described above were fixed immediately and the car started like new. After a few days of light to moderate driving, the engine computer cleared all engine codes. I couldn't believe the difference between day and night between a broken part and this new one. This is not to be underestimated. It was like a new engine!

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
