Wow, not one reply to this!? Anyway, to help anyone else out with this problem, I pulled the valve off, and I was able to blow through it. This is a normally closed valve, so this meant it was bad. I put a new GM valve on from Amazon, and cleared the code. The valve it's self is located behind the alternator and on top of the motor, it was pretty easy to get to. The light hasn't returned, so I think I am good to go! This took me about 15 min. to replace.

Had same code pop up a few days ago. Got the CEL cleared but came back within 35-40 miles. Just ordered same part you did. Hopefully fixes this problem.

Yeah, report back. Be careful disconnecting the lines, took me a min to figure it out.

Update: Changed out the part once it arrived. So far 100 miles driven and no check engine light. Easy job overall to switch part, except for one of the three connections. Kind of struggled with it and half broke the clip. Still works and attaches. It was the one closest to front of engine bay. The other two were to the rear.
