SOURCE: Codes PO 442, 449 and 455

Check all vacuum lines from the gas tank to the evaporative charcoal cannister by the gas tank and to the purge valve located at the engine. Check the electrical connector at the vent solenoid which should be located on the charcoal cannister and purge valve solenoid by the intake manifold.

I got code PO 452, PO 443, PO 449 all EMS codes what do I need to replace and how hard to do your self?

The codes only tell the mechanic what to test, not what to replace.
You would need to get the shop manual for your vehicle to have the test instructions for each code.
Code 452 is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor circuit, 443 is evap canister purge and 449 is the vent valve circuit.
The evap system and those components would need to be checked out.

How can I replace a canister vent solenoid for a 2006 Chevy Tahoe code 449/300

Google the location & a picture & replace yourself

Has to be near the fuel tank

PO449 is the Evap Vent Solenoid

PO 300 is random cylinder misfires maybe from the
extra air, when the evap purge runs
