Quick fuse question
Hello all, I'm a new to me corvette owner and have no tech manuals except the owners manual so here is a history of my problems.
When I first got the car it had the usual electrical problems with the abs, active handling, traction control problems. I read all the threads on this problem and got that sorted out with cleaning the ground connections. The check engine light never came on until I did this.
While I had the ground connection off on the passenger side gang plug I kept hearing something clicking. Got it all buttoned up and the second time I cranked it, Boom, Check engine light code PO449 Purge valve.
So here's the question, Where is that valve and what fuse is it tied to? I have looked everywhere and can't find the answers? It's a 2000 coupe with a 6 speed.

Just for future reference, whenever you are working on any electrical wiring it's best-practice to disconnect the battery ground as Corvette's HATE low voltage and will do all sorts of funky crap because of it.

Unless I am reading things completely wrong, that's referring to part of your emissions system. It's not a fuse.
