Gotta love GM. Had to replace the emission vent solenoid on top of my gas tank on the work van. Order the part which was 30 bucks. OK. I drop the tank to get access, fiddle with the connectors and hose clamp while standing on my head. Off it comes! Not too bad right?
Pop the hose on the new solenoid and go to connect the wires and it DOESN'T FIT. Huh?
Check my part number and it's correct. Then I find out that the lovely engineers at GM decided to "update" the wire connector a few years after my van, but they did make an adapter harness that you can get for a nominal fee of $60!
This is why mechanics hate engineers!
