Fc4 purge valve location

[treasures]

Just received a call from dealership stating the issue of louder than average ticking on my 2.0coupe was a faulty purge valve. Does anybody know ease of access or location of this part to determine wether a relative noob such as myself can replace. If I got any details wrong let me know! TIA yall! ?

Have a look here, it could be it:

This kind of stinks of a "shot gun" repair dude. I haven't seen these fail in the field right now. All of the direct injection Honda engines make a lot of noise, the first time one came in I could have thought it was a diesel. They are loud under the hood. Ticking is pretty common.

When these evap purge valves go bad they will set purge flow low codes often. They tend to either die completely or become weak and they do not operate at all times, usually only a steady freeway cruise when they can send excess fuel tank vapor to be burnt off by the engine.

I appreciate your insight! The idle sound changes after spirited driving or heavy throttle and what the dealership told me at least was that when the purge valve was deactivated, the sound went away. Sounds like I could probably try and recreate this at home before spending the $40 on a new one. Any additional insight is greatly appreciated ?
