The purge valve is the N80 valve which is on top of the carbon canister (number 2 in the diagram above). If the valve is stuck open it can cause rough running/idle, it will throw up a fault code so I'd scan for faults as a first step.

You can delete the entire system, Wazzzer made this guide:

I did this on my AUM and no matter what I did I couldn't stop the engine management light from coming on so refitted it all.
