Hello,

The charcoal canister is located on the top of the fuel tank. In order to access it the fuel tank needs to be removed.

The EVAP purge solenoid is located to the back of the engine block, below the intake manifold just above the starter motor.

I have attached diagrams for both components and the replacement procedure below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
