Erase the code and see if it returns. If it does, replace the valve. What engine do you have? If it is a 3.4 it should be right on top. One plug and two bolts.

you can easily replace it yourself for 50. it just unbolts and you bolt the new one on. You might have to remove a couple of things but nothing too hard,

I have 2006 chevy equinox code po455 I change the fuel cap and the purge evap valve but my code comes back what else could it be?

As you know one of the problems can be the Fuel Cap. I make this suggestion. If you changed your Fuel Cap before the Purge Valve double check that the cap used was an OEM (Original) Chevy Part for that specific vehicle, not just any cap from another Chevy.

How do I clean egr valve on 2009 equinox

Um an egr valve isn't a part that your can just clean and it will fix your check engine light issues. You can remove it and if you see carbon buildup you remove it but more than likely it needs to be replaced. There are some new fuel additives that improve emissions and clean catalytic converters maybe these additives also clean the egr valve. Hope this helps good luck
