Replacing the valve was key for me! But I had to unclog it first for it to work properly.
If all else fails, you might want to consider getting a code reader. It can help pinpoint whether the purge valve is the issue or something else. Plus, those apps make it fun to play mechanic! 
Haha, true! Just don’t get too carried away; leave some things to the professionals!
I had the same P0443 code pop up! The first step is checking the EVAP purge valve. It could just need cleaning or replacement. I used a Duralast part, and it worked great!
That’s super helpful! What costs should I expect for a replacement?

I paid around $100 for the part plus $50 for labor. If you’re handy, DIY could save you some cash!
DIY sounds tempting! Any tips for someone who has never done this before?
Make sure to have the right tools and follow a guide. There are some great YouTube videos for EVAP valve replacements!
YouTube is a lifesaver! Did anyone have issues with their check engine light staying on after the fix?
I had the light come back on after replacing the valve. Turned out I needed to replace a cracked hose too. Check for leaks after replacement!

Good point! I’ll be sure to check the hoses if I go the DIY route.

Has anyone tried aftermarket parts? I worry about quality versus price.
I’ve used aftermarket parts with success, but only from reputable brands! It’s a gamble otherwise.
Reputable brands definitely matter! It’ll save you headaches down the road.

I once bought a cheap part and it failed within weeks! My vehicle wouldn’t stop complaining. Lesson learned!
