I know that this is a purge valve error and that the car is acting like it has a vaccum leak somewhere. I snooped around a little bit today and can't find anything so far. I tried resetting the codes and that didn't work, it comes right back after a few minutes of driving. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check the gas cap seal.

The gas cap seal is fine.

The purge valve (on 328 at least) is located underneath the intake hose/brake cylinder, on the left side. I think it's easy to remove from the car, and you can check and see if it's closing/opening when you apply voltage. Hope this helps.
