Where can I buy an EVAP Purge Valve?
I got the code that mine is faulty. I am guessing that It needs replace unless anyone knows of a solution for this. I will try to get the exact code tomorrow, sorry for being so vague

Maybe the purge line is leaking?
Checking won't hurt. You can at least inspect the line from the purge valve to the intake manifold for leaks. The purge (solenoid) valve makes rapidly clicking noises when energized.

is it a loud click that sounds like the engine needs a little oil?...
Also I am not sure where the EVAP purge line is, do you or anyone else happen to have a picture of it so I know what im looking Thanks!

Take the valve out...
Without shkaing it around, tap both holes onto a white piece of paper. If you see no black soot, the valve should still be functioning correctly. Otherwise its an internal electrical problem in which Ive never seen before.
Like Mori mentioned, check the molded line that comes off to the passenger side for cracks Its a typical place for a crack to be present.
That valve being bad will not affect the way the car runs at all. Its an emissions thing that will make you fail an inspection though.

The solenoid makes rapidly clicking noises when energized. I believe it can cycle 50 times a second, or maybe even more rapidly. Check the thick vacuum line (red dots) from the solenoid to the intake manifold.
PS: Thanks for the virtual beer. ;-)
