1997 V70 Changed Purge Valve, now have misfire codes

Post by volvooh »

I have a 1998 V70 that has a PO455 code I am trying to chase down. Considering the purge valve is a common culprit, my 1999 C70 has the same valve, so I switched them out to see if that would address the issue. Drove about 10 mi or so, no light. Did a OBDII read and got four codes, PO300, on up to PO 500- misfire codes. What the heck? The car is running fine, no misfire at all. Anyone have any suggestions?
