evap purge valve (control solenoid)

Anyone can tell me where the evap control solenoid (or purge valve) is? Trying but have no luck on various forums. How hard is it to replace? Thanks.

not bad to replace. There is a DIY on Renntech (do a google search I don't have the link right now)

Like the DIYs say, removing the back connection is the hardest part as it usually glued together

It runs along the left side of the engine between the intake manifold and valve cover. It's very easy to replace and the solenoid has a long plastic pipe attached.
