    The solenoid is bolted on the back of the supercharger...has a plastic vac line on one end and a red plug on the other.

    The canister is in the driver's side rear wheel well under all the plastic wheel lining and sh1t.

    You can just rip out the entire EVAP system and cap it on the TB...and just live with the code...

    1. I have trouble code p0446 (.P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control malfunction.)I dont want to replace the canister. Im looking for the canister vent valve solenoid in the top picture.

    2. That second pic was of the trunk. Its not the fuel pump access (that is at the top). The pic shows a smaller access and im wondering what it gives access to

    *anywho*

    This is the solenoid in the engine bay:



    And this is the canister in the drivers rear wheel well...you have to take the tire off to get in there and rip it out or replace it:

    In the drivers side rear fender there is a small box with an electrical connector and a tube attached. I guess thats the canister vent valve solenoid but looks different than the above pic. I guess they changed the look of it to the above pic
