Finishing up putting everything back after i replaced the motor. Can you tell me from where does the harness for the purge valve come from? I can't find the connector for it.

That would be the engine wiring harness. I would use a flashlight to help see where the connector was hidden. I think they call it an engine ventilation heater. Here it is in the engine wiring diagrams below.

Thanks. No, I am sure it's the purge solenoid based on search.

Is this a diesel engine or an X drive?

that's what I thought. I found this tank vent valve at the front of the engine so this can be it. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
