There is vacuum to the purge valve whenever the engine temp is over 149 degrees, so under normal operating temps the valve is always open.

sounds to me you have a vacum leak. or maybe its that cool high flowing k/n filter you just replaced on that typhoon intake system.
i have an aftermarket intake system, and my car "hisses" very loud when cold started or a/c on.
