My engine light came on and had code and I replaced my purge value solenoid as well as my gas cap. Today, after I installed the new PV solenoid I got a new code P0497 and I made sure my gas cap was tightened and cleaned out the hoses to the PV solenoid but the code still appears.

I've researched this code on several sights and some people suggest it could be the Vent Solenoid located by the fuel tank and some state the purge valve solenoid is defective. The purge valve I purchased was from the local Honda Dealership and I'm confused as to what the problem could be.

Anyone with suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it!!

 

What year and model is this vehicle?

 

I figured out the problem!!

 

and what was it?
