I am getting a p0449 engine code evap vent vlv/ sol malf. Every thing I have read says to clean ( blow out sol. )Check plug connection or to change solenoid. My question is where is the solenoid. I have a 32 gallon gas tank. It is an extended cab, long bed

Sorry I should have been a little clearer on my info, the one on the left is the vent solenoid and the one on the right is the charcoal canister. Replace and relocate the vent solenoid.
