Diy Code P0440 Fuel Ventilation Valve

pinoye90 · 04-20-2012, 01:21 AM

the process was pretty simple except for locating the fuel vintilation valve. then the next difficult process was removing the last clip on upper rear of throttle body. I actually had to squeeze my left hand through the rear of alternator and right hand with a flat head slowly pushing on the clip to release it. The rest was pretty simple after I located the fuel vintilation valve. part cost $62 the dealer would have charged 400+ to do this. hope you guys like it!!
