This was a spot-on DIY video. You had a couple of thumbs down people. I don't know what they didn't agree with. This was perfect. Literally a 5 minutes repair. SCREW 'EM! Thanks man!
Great video ! After learning I had a bad purge valve I called my Buick dealer and they quoted me $350-$450 "....depending on the location of the bad valve." YIKES!!!! Decided to check TH-cam !!!! I bought an aftermarket replacement for $47 at AutoZone (Advance Auto, O'Reilly and NAPA were all more expensive!) It took me all of 4 minutes to replace with a simple 10mm ratchet. Then AutoZone's tool lending program lent me the diagnostic tool to delete the check engine light error on the dash. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this great video !!!!
Excellent video! Thanks for telling me about the push button on the electrical connection. I would have missed it. I really appreciate you telling me what size socket to use. I’m 70 years old and prone to dropping things, so not having to check several sockets to get the correct size saved me from looking for dropped sockets. In that same vein, I put the oil cap back on while working with the engine cowl removed. Dropping something down the open oil filler would be a disaster.
Thank you very much for this video. We were having the same problem. My husband came in and said get on google to see how to put this on. I went straight to youtube and your video was the 1st to come up. He said that was easy enough. So a big thank you for this helpful video.
Thanks for your video. I just purchased a very nice 2010 Buick Lacrosse with the same symptoms. I am heading to ORiellys tomorrow. You just saved me $300-$400.
Thank you so much. I watched your video, bought the part and installed it in my wife's Chevy Traverse after her car wouldn't start after refueling. Now it starts right up after fueling up! Thank you for saving me money and a few cool points with my wife.
When I drive down the interstate in my part of the country there are more Enclaves than any other vehicle save for Chevy and Ford trucks. Thanks for posting this video. I recently filled the tank and my wife got the P 0496 error. Many thanks.
Omg thank you for doing this video! After replacing my fuel pump and fuel drive module I was still having the same issue when I would fill up on gas with a no start. After watching your video went and spent $46 on the part and five mins and it worked. I took my gas cap off before I started the car and put it back on and my car started right up and then tested it by taking the gas cap off while it was running and it didn’t shut off. So thanks for sharing it was exactly what I needed.
Thanks for sharing this just saved $300 I made appt with dealer but feel I can handle this repair after watching your awesome video. I will cancel appt
Great video. Buick looks just like mine. Was ready to push the Buick away from the gas pump a couple times. Looked up on Google the reason for it not starting after a fill up and found you're video on TH-cam. 👍
Great video. I really never leave comments but I had to in this instance. I have the exact same problem and was wondering what was causing that problem. And you're right, there aren't many videos directly related to the Buick enclave, especially for the 2009. Thank you
Thanks for the video Steve. I feel exactly like you. I believe I’ve learned more from TH-cam then I ever did for my public or secondary education. Very helpful video thanks for taking the time to make it
Please share more videos that can help us figure out our vehicle issues. I would love to have you as my mechanic seriously! I have many vehicles that need work. THANK YOU!
Awesome!!! I just changed my air filter and noticed the hose running to that was just pushed up against it. The inner tube was broken off inside. I've only have the car for about 6months and noticed it cranked for an extended period of time after fill up. This probably explains it. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Steve thank you so much for sharing this because my wife just bought a 2010 Buick Enclave CXL and its doing the exact same thing when she fills it up. I will be changing that part out today thanks again.
Thank you so much for your fantastic instructions. You have definitely empowered me and helped me to save money all in one. Thanks a million and God Bless!
thanks bro you did contributed to someone here, mine does the same thing after putting gas on it will take a few seconds of trying to turn over, or we will sit on the gas station for like 2 minutes then it would turn over and yes guilty of filling her all the way because i don't want my wife to do it here self and not wanting myself to do it often lol
Thx for the video. I recently bought a used 2013 and heard a clicking when i turned it on Dealership said it would not cause a problem to the car but thx to you i know it will!
I already ordered mine . It does the same thing after fillups not so often but I don’t want it to get worse.Also ordered the PCV . That should take care of my Check Engine light.
Hey Steve, thank you so very much sir. My GMC Acadia Denali 2013 is having the very same problem. I will go out tomorrow, God Willing, and fix this problem.
Thanks for uploading the video. Just replaced the purge valve on my wife's 2012. Simple (for a change!) 10-15 minute job (at most). Will the CEL (Check Engine Light) go off eventually on it's own or do I need to have that cleared?
Saludos, muchas gracias, mi hijo, alla en USA, tiene ese problema con su Buick Enclave 2016, yo estoy en colombia y nos sirvio mucho tu video, tiene ese problema cuando tanquea full, el motor "corcovea", nuevamente gracias.
Not sure if you will get this. But that hose you take off, before the screw, after the electrical plug. What is that hose called? Mine broke…. And maybe you can help with this as well. At the beginning, your hand touches the silver thing at the front. What would that hose be called as well. I believe the silver thing is vacuum pump. My hose broke to that as well…
Awesome video… so what’s your advice for an enclave shuttering at low speed and accelerating? I just changed out the Pcv valve today and the back one was pretty bad shape? And seems like it’s helped but still has some shuttering… I just don’t know now.. any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks in advance
will need a transmission. My 2012 Enclave was doing the same thing,threw all kinds of money at the car trying process of elimination,when nothing worked it was determined to be the transmission. Just got it back after 9 weeks in the shop. No parts available 40 days out ended up going with remanufactured tranny.Running perfect now!!
Hello Mr. Wright, I have a quick question, our Enclave is a 2008 and it is starting to act up...... when pulling from a stop sign or a traffic light or on occasion while climbing a small hill, the vehicle will hesitate when pressing down on the throttle. As I press down on the gas pedal, the car acts like it shut off on me but in a second or two, it then speeds up..... any idea what this could be? do you think it is something simple as a fuel filter that needs changed?
I have the same truck and is doing the same problems I put last night only have tank of gasoline same problems you think that I have to change that part?
Thanks for the video. Heading over to the parts store now. "Apparently those that own Buicks dont necessarily fix their vehicles by themselves very often." Lol. Certainly not original owners I at least. Bought our 2013 about 8 months ago.
Sorry for the delay. I do not check this very often. Anyway, I did not change the throttle body with this repair and the symptom did not cause my check engine light to come on either. Sorry I cant help further.
Thanks so much for the video, it is exactly what I was needing to know. Just a not what do you mean by topping off my tank? do you mean after it kicks off while pumping not to try and put more in it? Thanks again for the video
FRANK Gman one it fails, from what I understand it’s done. When you remove it, try and blow through it. If you can, the valve has failed open. It must be replaced.
I do not recommend topping it off. Let the tank fill, and once the nozzle clicks off, your'e done. Do not keep squirting little bits of fuel at at a time to try and fit as much fuel as possible into the gas tank.

I have the same truck and is doing the same problems I put last night only have tank of gasoline same problems you think that I have to change that part?
Thanks, very helpful my man. Keep up the good fight.
Thanks for the video. Heading over to the parts store now. "Apparently those that own Buicks dont necessarily fix their vehicles by themselves very often." Lol. Certainly not original owners I at least. Bought our 2013 about 8 months ago.

Do you know if it's the same for the 2011?
Thanks brother, I'll pay it forward
Excellent - Super helpful!
Was there a TIC sound ?
will a bad purge valve , give you a gasoline smell in side your car as well , po455 ?
Thank you so much I'm having this problem on my way to get this part to fix mines
Great video bro
Morning when u changed the throttle BODY did your check engine light come back on do I have to reset the light or it will go out by itself
Sorry for the delay. I do not check this very often. Anyway, I did not change the throttle body with this repair and the symptom did not cause my check engine light to come on either. Sorry I cant help further.
Good stuff very helpful mijo...
Very helpful video , my 2008 enclave has same problem and I fixed ,only think is the valve is located on other side ,back side .
Wat code did it have was it po455 large leak
I didn't test it with any code .I went by intuition.
Thanks, so glad I watched this video
Thanks so much for the video, it is exactly what I was needing to know. Just a not what do you mean by topping off my tank? do you mean after it kicks off while pumping not to try and put more in it? Thanks again for the video
OK? Great Video. This may sound silly, but if the purge solenoid sucks gas fumes only once, is it ruined for good? Can it be cleaned?
FRANK Gman one it fails, from what I understand it’s done. When you remove it, try and blow through it. If you can, the valve has failed open. It must be replaced.
Thanks. It was bad as you described. New one installed, all is well. I cleared the codes and they have not reappeared. Easy fix, thanks to your vid.
Thank you for this video have the same issue.
my daughter's is doing the same thing. After changing the part do you still not recommend filling up the truck?
I do not recommend topping it off. Let the tank fill, and once the nozzle clicks off, your'e done. Do not keep squirting little bits of fuel at at a time to try and fit as much fuel as possible into the gas tank.
