    Just bought my 06 Pontiac GP GT the check engine light came on on the way home with it so i took it to my mechanic and ran the diagnostics and it threw a po033 code "Bypass valve stuck open" so I brought it back to the dealer so they can fix it. Did a little research and saw that it could be the solenoid. Just wandering if anyone has ever ran across this problem and if so what is the average cost of repairs.

    Often it's the soleniod. The pcm has no way to read the actual valve, so likely it's reading the soleniod not responding when it's actuated.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
