Vapor Purge Valve Location in Engine Compartment

Can anyone tell me where in the engine compartment I would find the vapor purge valve?

I am not looking for the valve that's over the charcoal canister behind the left rear tire. This is a smaller solenoid valve at the engine end. Unless I have it wrong.

Directly behind the driver's side headlight. The rubber hose that attaches to the purge valve degrades with time so plan on installing a worm-gear type hose clamp.

Oh yeah, be very, very careful with the metal clip on the connector. Mine is still somewhere in the engine compartment but it is not on the connector.

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated! Once I found it, it was an easy fix.
