Hi guys,
Replaced my PCV this weekend and it resolved all my codes but one. It is for the EVAP purge valve. I wanted to handle this myself as I hear it is an easy fix but I have been unable to located a detailed post or pictorial PDF guide. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

If ur talking about the n80 valve, its right under the intake manifold. There is a hose that goes from back of engine bay, up to n80, then another hose goes to the intake from the n80.
Search for n80 (aka purge valve) valve replacement. Its like 15 bucks from europarts.com. very easy to do. Be sure to pick up some new hose clamps too!
I don't recommend non OE for this part. Reason 1. I bought a Dorman brand as temp fix while waiting for the Bosch brand. It threw more EVAP codes than I have ever seen. 2. The ticking sound from the valve was louder on the Dorman. 3. There is no mounting bracket on the aftermarket ones, so vibrations may have disturbed it.
I returned the Dorman when the Bosch arrived. Didn't even have to clear the codes. The Bosch took care of all my evap codes, 2 mos strong now!!! Bosch FTMFW!!!!!
