Hi i have 2 problems 1 is my truck its a 2000 chevy extended cab 1500 with a 4.8 L code is P0449 i know its part of the evap perge valve dont know where it is.

Other problem my friends car and it is a 95 ford tbird has a problem with L/F caliper hanging up has new rotor,caliper and pads bleed the system still there
thought it could be the abs system changed it with a used one still there swapped the two front brake lines L/F to the R/F and R/F to the L/F problem moved to the right side when i did that the only thing between the master and the caliper is the ABS so we try another used one off a car that had power and new it was good and the problem still there ( the used part has the computer with it changed that also.). it has tracketion control any ideas me and my friend are dumb founded

On the brake problem, just change the 2 front hoses. That's you problem.

hate cars; Agree with HT...probably a front brake hose. As far as the P0449 (purge control valve) goes, it could be the valve, or a problem in the circuit. I wouldn't go replacing parts without finding out which is at fault.
