    My check engine light is on and Hyundai said the code came back as a
    purge valve, they said they would replace it for 200.00 and I told
    them I would have to wait a couple of weeks since they just did the
    60000 mile service on my Santa Fe and I didn't have the funds right
    now. Well I called a few days later and got a price on the purge valve
    alone and it is 30.00, how hard is it to change? I would like to do it
    myself as long as it isn't overly complicated or in need of special
    tools.

    It requires some contorting to get out. It's along the left side frame
    rail wedged between the strut tower and the master cylinder. I usually
    have good luck with using long handled needlenose pliers to get the valve
    out of the hoses and then lube them well for reassembly. In many
    instances I don't have to take the clamps loose, making the job much
    easier.
