Guys,
The past two times my wife has filled up with gas, the car has been extremely hard to start, requiring 20 seconds of cranking and finally putting her foot on the gas. It then runs erratically for the first minute or so. After that, it runs fine until time to put more fuel in it. Two mornings ago the CEL came on and Autozone pulled a code P0496. This has to do with the EVAP system. They cleared the code and it stayed off for 24 hours before coming back on. After several searches, I came across some threads talking about a PURGE VENT SOLENOID and a CANISTER VENT VALVE. I believe the canister vent valve is on top of the fuel tank, and the purge vent solenoid is attached to the driver's side of the motor. I would like to buy this locally, but RockAuto has AC Delco part #'s listed for each. Any part #'s from O'reilly's or Autozone would be helpful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't want to go replacing parts that are perfectly fine. Would anyone mind explaining how to bench test a solenoid to see if it is working or not?
Thanks,
Ryan:thx
