evap purge valve solenoid line
I was changing my purge valve solenoid because my check engine light went on. The code read p0446. I checked the lines as best I can underneath. Did not see anything wrong. I then changed the vent valve solenoid by the tank. Easy quick fix. Still light is on and code reads same thing. I changed the gas cap but still same problems. I went to check the purge valve solenoid on the manifold passenger side. When I took it out using a 10mm socket to remove the 2 small nuts, I noticed that the small rubber hose that goes into the plastic tube/hose was cracked. My problem now is I can not find where this plastic tube/hose goes to. I can not see anything past the distributor. Any help with some pictures or instructions would be great. I want to get a new line but I am not sure where it goes and what is the name of it? This way when I go to the part store. Thanks Bernie11

You were told where it goes.
you ignored it.

There probably IS a GM part # but If you do go to a dealer parts counter, you ask for the part by describing it:
like ..
"The line from the purge valve that goes back to the canister"
but the part is probably not available, anymore. Why? Because when you have a problem like this, you just replace that section with fuel resistant rubber tubing of the appropriate size and length.
Which you find by cutting off the bad section and taking it to NAPA or other parts store to find a fit.
