In a 2012 Chevy Impala, you can locate the purge valve in the engine compartment situated at the back of the valve cover. It is connected to a rubber hose. This component helps to redirect gases from the crankcase and exhaust back into the engine for burning before releasing them through the exhaust system. If the purge valve malfunctions, a check engine light will typically appear, indicating an issue. Additionally, you may notice rough idling in your car when the valve is failing, as the engine may not be receiving the correct air and fuel mixture.
