    One more question about intake swap

    I searched and searched and found nothing, also read the sticky on the swap.
    i just did my swap a few days ago and everything went fine except for a fuel issue. i have a 08 Tahoe engine and i put a 05 GTO intake on it. well the tahoe has 2 fuel lines running to the intake one for supply and the other is a i dunno line... it has some sort of sensor on it that connects to my wiring harness. Now the new intake just has the one hook up so now im confused what this other line is for and do i need to hook it up?

    Thanks for any help

    That is your evaporative purge solenoid.

    I am not sure but I don't think it has to do with the fuel system. Good Luck I am working on an intake swap soon and am lost as can be.

    It's not connected to the fuel rail or part of the fuel system. It's emissions stuff.

    If the EVAP codes are not turned off in the tune you will get an SES light if the purge solenoid is not functioning and connected to the canister via the purge chassis line.
