Camaro check engine light air valve
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Chevrolet Camaro owner experienced a recurring check engine light issue, which a local shop attributed to a potential air valve problem, possibly due to a defective hose connection. Another person suggested checking for vacuum leaks, particularly around the intake manifold and air valve connections, as these could cause manifold pressure issues. Ultimately, the owner returned to the shop, where the problem was confirmed to be a hose issue, and after repair, the check engine light was resolved.

Thanks for the tip. Where exactly should I be looking for these vacuum hoses? Are there any specific areas on the engine I should focus on first?

I'd start by checking around the intake manifold and any connections leading to the air valve. Honestly, without specialized tools to properly diagnose a vacuum leak, it’s tough to pinpoint the exact location. Since you've already got a diagnosis, it's probably best to just let the shop handle it to avoid causing any further damage.

Appreciate the advice! I ended up taking it back to the shop. Turns out it was indeed a hose issue like they originally said. Cost me about 175€ to get it fixed. Check engine light is off now, so fingers crossed!

Hey, yeah that sounds like it could be a vacuum leak. Have you checked the vacuum hoses? Sometimes a cracked or loose hose can cause manifold pressure issues and trigger that light. Give the air intake a look too.
