Where is the canister purge valve located in a car?

The canister purge valve is located below the engine, within the engine compartment. This valve can open to allow gasoline vapor from the charcoal canister to enter the engine's intake manifold, and it can close when not needed. Here is additional information: 1. Canister purge valve failure: It may cause the engine to experience insufficient power. It could also lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Function: The charcoal canister absorbs gasoline vapors. Gasoline is a relatively volatile liquid that evaporates in the vehicle's fuel tank. If gasoline vapors were directly released into the atmosphere, it would cause pollution and could be unsafe. If the vapors were not released, it would increase pressure in the fuel tank, potentially leading to an explosion. Therefore, engineers developed the charcoal canister to absorb gasoline vapors from the fuel tank. The charcoal canister is installed inside the wheel arch near the rear wheels.
