Also known as the carbon canister purge valve. They're usually located under the bonnet. They can become stuck, and if so often a very light tap with a hammer can free them. Otherwise there isn't really anything to go wrong with them.

This valve is designed to tick.I would be worried if it didn't.Best put your hammer back in its box for the moment.

They are designed to tick because the valve opens and closes. My suggestion to give it a light tap with a hammer was if it had become stuck and was no longer ticking. This often gets them ticking again.
