As the Factory Service manual (available in the FAQ) or Haynes manual shows, it is located just behind the oil filler tube between the tube and oil filter.

The purge valve is the PCV valve. It's a round saucer thing about 1.75" in diameter with two hoses on the bottom and one on the top. It clips to a bracket that extends off of the solenoid rack and is directly behind the oil filler tube (looking from the front of the engine) and directly in front of the oil filter.
