★ Top Answer
In the 2011 Kia Soul, the canister purge valve is located on the EVAP canister in the engine compartment. This valve is positioned between the canister and the intake manifold. The purpose of the purge valve is to redirect unburnt fuel and exhaust gases back into the engine for re-combustion, aiding in emission control. If the purge valve malfunctions, you will likely see the check engine light illuminate on your dashboard. Additionally, your vehicle may experience rough running, stalling, or misfiring. Replacing the valve is relatively straightforward and can be done in about an hour at a repair shop.
