Good grief! Tnx.

Good Day. I can’t seem to locate this unit. Not the EVAP valve located just in front of the gas tank. Checked everywhere under the hood. Where the heck is it? I think it looks like the photo attached. Tnx to all.

So, my check engine light came on and a scan revealed this code (P1451); EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction. A local mechanic said to replace the Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid, so I did. Well guess what. Three days later the check engine light came on again with the same code. I don't want to get into this trial and error of replacing all the components at considerable cost and frustration. Anyone experience this before with a good conclusion? I was told to have a smoke test done at a cost of $80. I'm told this test can zero in on the problem with about 80% accuracy. Is this to be my next step, or should I opt for a different diagnosis? Perhaps a DIY test that I'm not aware of. Finally, I need to have an emissions (tailpipe) test done soon. If I do nothing, will the car fail the test for sure? Thanks to those who respond. Cheers, Terry
