Answer
With these symptoms, it's likely the valve is stuck open.

Under normal operation, the valve is closed unless commanded open by the engine control module (ECM).  To test, simply remove the purge hose from the intake manifold and see if you can blow into it (or, if you don't mind sucking fuel vapor, suck on it).  You should not be able to suck or blow any air.  If you can, the purge valve is stuck open.
