I am unable to locate the Vapor Canister Purge Valve on my 2006 Isuzu Ascender LS 6 Cyl. I have a hard code with the check engine light on and I am unable to reset the check engine light. I purchased the valve and have been looking for it on the car for two days.

no engine told and there are 3 answers. for 3 engines
replace it?
Evap
purge
3.4L

1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve electrical connector.
2. Disconnect the EVAP canister purge pipe from the EVAP canister purge valve.
3. Disconnect the vacuum supply hose from the EVAP canister purge valve.
4. Remove the EVAP canister purge valve bolt.
5. Remove the EVAP canister purge valve from the intake manifold.

This elaborates more on the code.
P0456 - Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (Very Small Leak)
Description:
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the complete evaporative emission (EVAP) control system for the presence of a very small fuel vapor leak. The system failure occurs when a fuel vapor leak from an opening as small as 0.508 mm (0.020 inch) is detected by the EVAP running loss monitor test.
Possible Causes:
• Very small holes or cuts in the fuel vapor hoses/tubes
• Loose fuel vapor hose/tube connections to the EVAP system components
• EVAP system component seals leaking. See the Possible Causes for DTC P0442
Diagnostic Aids:
Check for a missing fuel filler cap or the integrity of the cap.
Check for loose or damaged vapor hoses. Visually inspect the EVAP canister inlet port, CV solenoid filter, and canister vent hose assembly for contamination or debris.

Hello have a 2006 Isuzu I-280 and I needed to replace, at this moment, the Evaporative Valve Soleniod which is instaled next to the Vapor Canister. In my case, It is mounted on the frame behind the gas tank you will have to move the spare tire out of the way one bolt holds it in place, this is where the canister is and the valve is mounted on the canister this is where it is mounted on my 2006 I-280. If you need to replace the solenoid and you can't find the original Isuzu part, you can ask for the 2006 Chevy Impala V-6 3.5 Purge Valve Solenoid. It is the same piece. The old Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid has a number part PA-GF30, and it is the same part number I found in the new Chevy Impala Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid. Good luck.

PCV valve would have nothing to do with it !
P1443 - Very Small Or No Purge Flow Condition A fuel tank pressure change greater than a minus (-) 7 inches of H 2 O in 30 seconds has occurred with purge (fuel vapor) flow less than 0.02 pounds per minute.

• Blocked fuel vapor hose between EVAP canister purge valve and FTP sensor.
• Blocked fuel vapor hose between EVAP canister purge valve and engine intake manifold.
• Blocked vacuum hose between EVAP canister purge valve-solenoid and engine intake manifold.
• EVAP canister purge valve stuck closed (mechanically).

Check for blockages between the fuel tank, EVAP canister purge valve and engine intake manifold. Check obstructions in the EVAP canister purge valve diaphragm and ports.
Suggest you buy a repair manual if you want to try an fix yourself .Or Go to ford web site Ford Oem1stop com an pay 29 bucks for 72 hours for repair info . Or take it to a qualified repair shop an have it smoke tested . Or goolge purge valve for a pic. an see if you can find it under the hood .

where is the purge valve solenoid located at

what codes?

The vacuum lines run from the canister to the intake manifold. One is the purge hose to deliver stored fuel vapor to the intake to be burnd when engine is warm and you are crusing at part throttle. The other line is the vacuum line to operate it.

Fuel Vapor Valve, Aerostar (4.0L Engine) The evaporative emission valve (9B593) uses a small orifice, 1.83mm (0.072 inch), that allows vapors to pass into the vapor line running forward to the evaporative emissions canister (EVAP canister) (9D653). This evaporative emission valve mounts directly into the fuel tank (9002) using a fuel vapor separator seal. Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the orificed evaporative emission valve. The vapors from the fuel tank leave the evaporative emission valve through a single vapor line and continue to the evaporative emissions canister in the engine compartment for storage.

Fuel Vapor Canister Purge Regulator Valve, Aerostar, Ranger Removal and Installation

1. Disconnect wire harness from evaporative emission canister purge valve (EVAP canister purge valve) (9C915).
   

1. Disconnect wire harness from thermistor.
   

1. Disconnect evaporative emission canister purge valve assembly from fuel vapor canister and throttle body.
   

1. To install, reverse removal procedure.

P1443 - EVAP Control System / Vacuum System Purge Control Solenoid Or Purge Control Valve Fault. A fuel tank pressure change greater than minus (-) 7 inches of water in 30 seconds occurred with a purge (fuel vapor) flow at less than 0.02 pounds per minute.

Possible Causes:

Blocked fuel vapor hose between the EVAP canister purge valve and the FTP sensor.

Blocked fuel vapor hose between the EVAP canister purge valve and the engine intake manifold.

Blocked vacuum hose between the EVAP canister purge valve solenoid and the engine intake manifold.

EVAP canister purge valve stuck closed (mechanically).

Possible Solution:
Check for blockages between the fuel tank, the EVAP canister purge valve, and the engine intake manifold. Check for obstructions in the EVAP canister purge valve diaphragm and ports.

The canister is on the passengers side near the firewall if I recall correctly.

The vapor canister purge solenoid is on the left side of the motor about in the middle just bellow the intake manifold.It might be hard to see from obove the engine.You might be able to get a better look from behind the drivers side front wheel.Hope this helps.Good luck.
