The bottom hose is a bear to remove. I guess because it is so near the engine heat source. Thanks for doing the work getting both the instructions and the pictures online for the rest of us... |

Sardonic,
Excellent instructions. 30 minutes or less is all it takes, barring any hoses that put up a fight. Oh yeah, that timing is good, if you re-read the instructions one last time before you actually start on the replacement. It was a simple job with excellent instruction.... Thanks for your efforts. |

Thanks for the kudos; I'm happy to know that you and others are able to save some money with the instructions because it's an easy fix.
BTW, was your bottom hose hell to get off? I just remember twisting and twisting and twisting and twisting, etc...until it finally dislodged. Maybe an Admin will throw this DIY on the homepage, so members can find it easier... |

Yes, indeed. The bottom hose was the worst, but the others were a challenge as well. Twisting the bottom hose with "downward" pressure finally dislodged it....
I replaced that purge valve to clear the codes so the safety inspection would pass, now I'm replacing fuel filter/ regulator and checking fuel pressures...... I have sparadic cylinder 4 ignition with fuel off.... Lots of threads about that one... :-) |

So I bought the part and for kicks I ask the Service Advisor how much for something like this installed. He came back and quoted me 3 hours of work plus diagnostics. Roughly $600 of labor! WTF!

I went over to a friend's Aamco to get the codes deleted and he looked it up and said he'd only charge me a 1/4 hours labor to do it...I said no way! He said that's what his online quoting system said and he only charges $80/hr for labor...next time he'll be doing mine |

so that would have been $20 of labor. yeah you should have him done it.

I would just be guessing but if you have an Aamco up there maybe they calculate the job off the same system?
