Alright, after many trips to O’Rielly’s and my local shop and plenty of $$$ spent, in still getting a P0445 code coming up. New throttle body was just installed, O2 sensor is good and also new, no leaks detected and hoses lookin good. Looks to be a bad purge valve. My main question here is on my 97 manual 2.5, which dang way is this purge valve supposed to sit? After receiving it back from the shop the “bottom” side was on the top.. seems upside down to a simpleton like myself. After driving about 80 miles after the new throttle body was installed the codes appeared. I’m hoping this thing was just put back on upside down and it’s an easy fix.
