P0458 - Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve

[my_e92_is_blue]

So I got a P0458 code that states "Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Low" and I can't seem to find anywhere online as to where the valve actually is on our cars. Any help is appreciated

Hey my_e92_is_ blue,

The evap. purge valve is located under the plenum box on top of the engine, and about 3/4 of the way back on the driver's side. (next to the throttle bodies) Good luck and I hope you're able to fix the problem.

It's this black plastic filter thing:

Interesting that both of you have fuse #16 blow when cranking, could this valve be related?
Have you Unpluged the connector at the valve and retested cranking with a new #16 fuse?

Any tips on how to remove the clamp on the hose from the rear of this valve? The electrical connector is no problem, but I've fiddled with the tank-side hose as much as I'm comfortable and can't seem to get it to pop off -- what's the trick?
