The 2007 Kia Spectra has a purge valve located on the EVAP canister near the fuel tank. If this valve is faulty, you may notice symptoms like a rough idle, difficulty starting, and the check engine light turning on. The purpose of the purge valve is to regulate the amount of fuel vapor released from the carbon canister, which is controlled by the ECU. Replacing the valve in the car can cost between $120 and $200, with the parts typically ranging from $80 to $150. The labor involved in fixing this issue is not too difficult, especially for those with experience working on cars and engines.

I'm experiencing a similar problem with locating it, but this time it's on my 2009 Spectra LX. Do you think it would be in the exact same place?
