Constant Ticking Driver Side (in engine bay)

I've seen this hear before, its called the purge valve or something? Can I get the exact name, the last dealership wouldnt do anything, im going to try the one in gainesville, does this effect gas mileage at all? since the ticking for about a year now my mileage has gone 2-3mpg lower than usual

That's just the rice cooker under the hood doing it's thing. Yeah it's annoying, seems to get activated when at idle.

first noticed it when I bought my car. Took it in and they said it's normal. Never had any probs since, so I let it be.

I had Palm Beach Acura replace mine. But now I guess they did something, or the new one failed cause I have a check engine light & a code.(came on about 1 week after) It has to do with that thing I looked the code up. I did notice an increase in milage after it was replaced.
