Default Locating the canister purge valve

New Member here who is very car illiterate so please bear with me
Hooked up the diagnostic and a Murray's and got the po441 code "emission control system purge flow fault". My friend that works there thinks its the canister purge valve.

My question: Where is the canister purge valve. I would like to take a look at it to to see its condition along with the hoses. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

most of them do tick like crazy. best way to get it to stop is to leave your gas cap open/ not closed tight. if it goes away, that's it. an engine code will pop, though, as it operates the purge and there is no pressure change. many of them will tick when new, so i guess it's just something we deal with.
but, no, it is not realted to the egr. it is the fuel evap system.

we were thinking that it was in the front but we had trouble finding it and I wanted to make sure it wasn't in an odd spot that we didn't think about. the part comes in a few days so hopefully i can get this fixed and the check engine light off.
Anyone every changed one?difficult/easy?
