Where is the Canister Purge Valve Solenoid located on a 2003 Monte Carlo SS?

Emissions (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid (3.8L VIN K) is on top front of engine, near center of upper intake plenum. Here is a picture.

how can i check it for proper operation?

Hey, SCARMECH

Remove the valve and then use two wires with a pigtail clips onto a battery 12 volt source. Next, touch the wires to the terminals inside the solenoid, you should hear a click which tells you it is working.

where is it located/emission control sensor

it's a valve not a sensor. it's by the gas tank and cannister purge. It 's got a red connection and red valve so it's easy to see. BUt if you left your gas tank loose after getting fuel it sets the same code
the gas cap has to click 3 times to fully seat.
