I'm getting this error on my 2000 K1500 4.8L v8 Silverado


P0446 Evaporative Emission System Vent Control Circuit



Have no idea what it is, and the dealer says "bring'er on in"



Any ideas? Can I fix it myself?



Thanks



Keith

Or replace it. I had to replace mine when I was getting the 'service engine soon' light on almost all the time. my mechanic suggested replacing it and so I did. Something happened to my factory gas cap and for $6 I replaced it and no more 'service engine soon' light.

hth, Joe

It would have been a real joke:

if you got the one for the pre-OBD2 cars and trucks. Your light would have stayed on, and your mechanic would have kicked his own balls!

It happened to me, I know!

LOL
