So went in a friends for twenty min. Came out to leave, started my car.. check engine light! !.. now remote start won't work.. I searched this and found ALLLLL sorts of ppl having this happen but I can't seem to find what exactly it is..

Gna take it to dealer in a few hours but its bugging me.. what is it?????

Built in safety feature is if the check engine is on remote is automatically disabled or if the hood is open.
Before you go to the dealer to get raped, just use a scanner to get the codes or stop at a local parts store and have them scan for the codes and list them here. At the least someone can tell you where to go... direction wise!

mine just did that as well, ended up being the oil pressure sensors. seems pretty common with these cars.

Yea take to autozone mine was code for 02 sensor they cleared n it was fine

08GXPGXP

Yeah I forgot to mention that.. was actually omw to read the code now. I was just saying dealer for the fixing part of it.. no matter how stupid the problem I take it there cause its 100% free depending on the problem. But yea at the dealer I got an extra protection plan that YES I pay extra for.. but I was raised knowing the old phrase BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY so its worth it.. especially when my tranny goes BAHAHAHA

The way it acted I thought the light had something to do with remote starter.. but really didn't make sense to me..

That and shorty after posting this I was driving and the car spuddered when I pushed the gas.. so guessing maybe maf sensor maybe tps?? Not sure?? I'm no mechanic by any means

Hey thanks matt.. I got some advice I'm going to try.. I fellow member says 2 o2s should never go at the same time.. something to do with the cold and the charge system.. told me to clear the codes amd trickle charge the battery over niggt and try that.. save me the 150 I spent on o2s.. as for evap its easier to replace tjan I thought. . No dropping the tank.. remove wheel and plastic in the well and poof there she is.. replace her and be on my way

Yeah, evap is very easy to replace and pretty cheap. That was what started throwing an intermittent light on mine causing the remote start to stop working. Took a while, but it eventually became a pretty constant light that would come back nearly immediately after clearing it.

Replaced the solenoid in the back and haven't had an issue since.

08GXPGXP

I will NOT allow my car to have a light on so ill be doing mine as soon as the solenoid comes in

08GXPGXP

Called and got it ordered.. 31 bucks.. but there was a valve too for 80.. the code reads valve c.. so I'm lost.. hopefully just rhe solenoid does the trick.. but I'm gna be mad I put the 30 in and its the 80 dollar part.. cause in.all rwality at the gas station.my car doesn't make the pump keep stopping like most ppl having a evap problem.. so its weird.. hate engine light on the dash being on so I just want to replace it

Ill_Born_ss

What Code # reads.." valve c" and what P/N did you order. these solenoid valves are multifunction, they do some things open and some things closed and they can be plugged. Could even be because of the gas cap leaking. Sometimes you may clear the light and it may take up to 3 driving cycles for the system to stabilise.

08GXPGXP

P0443 evap emissions controll system purge valve c fault..

Word for word

And yes my gas cap is garbage.. Hard to get on. One day I didn't secure it right and I got the gas cap warning..

So can I manually purge this.. How do I do this clearing of the lines? Just drive.?

Ill_Born_ss

So you charged the battery! Then cleared all the codes with the key on, engine off. Then turned key off for 30 seconds then started the car. Did the check engine light go out and stay out? Or did it come on again with new codes! If your gas cap if fubared replace it with an OEM one as it is an important part of your emission system.

No havent done it yet.. bought the charger.. but haven't had time to do it.. I live in an apt complex and can't just run a extension cord haha.. got an appointment to get the tint banner on my windsheid but think I'm gonna do it right after while I sleep.. just hope 7-8 hrs is enogh time for a 2amp trickle charge.. I work third shift so I can't leave it overnight. . Ill be sure to post my findings once I do it tho

08GXPGXP

Car is on a full cycle 2amp charge.. ill look at her in the morning and shate whatever news..

I have got thay charhing system failure warning a couple times in the last year so I'm hoping this is it.. battery doesn't look too new.. doesn't help I have a pretty beefy sound system :/

08GXPGXP

18hr charge.. didn't work.. :/

Do you have your glove box manual for the car?
If not go here and download it:
http://www.gm.ca/media/owners/manual...nual_en_CA.pdf
If you do go to page 5-122 and check the fuse marked CANISTER (passenger side kick panel)
Also go to page 5-126 and check the Emissions 1 and Emissions 2 fuses

Also do you have any mods , cold air intake, exhaust

Also can you tell me what scan tool you are using to clear the codes.

08GXPGXP

Only mods as of right now is flipped mm and muffler delete.. scan tool is a actron obd2 auto scanner

08GXPGXP

Yes I have book for the car
