During the oil service at the Chevy service shop, they did some further diagnosis specific to my install job on the EVAP purge valve. Turns out the ECM isn’t sending any commands to the Purge Valve, and the EGR is operational - it’s receiving commands and actuating.

The likeliest source of the problem is the ECM. I’ve already lined up a purchase of a used ECM which belonged to the donor car from which my car’s engine came from, and will be attempting to solve this on my own this weekend.

Cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Hopefully that sorts it. If it’s any consolation the ECM in my grandpa’s ‘95 died spectacularly with me driving - when it was a year old with 10,000 miles on it. Though diagnosis was a bit easier as that car wouldn’t even turn over. In any case the used ones are usually pretty good, if it’s lasted this long it’s probably alright.
