The canister purge valve is used to purge the charcoal canister (black plastic box about the size of a 5lb bag of sugar that is located in the front bottom corner of the engine compartment on the passenger side). Just follow the lines and it should take you to it. I think its used to regulate the flow of evaporated fuel from the tank into the manifold since there's a vacuum line going to the canister from the manifold.
