Question for JFP in PA..?

Hello JFP, I cleared the CEL code P0440 a few times and still returns, and today decided to check the purge valve by disconnecting it from the throttle body and tried to create vacuum by suctioning into the hose and you cannot pull any air from it.

However, after activating the valve with the Durametric if you suck into the hose you gan get air (actually strong fumes) but the flow of air is Not constant, more like the valve is open and closing, is this valve is supposed to work intermittent or constantly open? I also noticed that you can blow air towards the valve but again, not a constant flow of air (I am not sure if I am explaining this clear or not.)

Your comments will be (as always), greatly appreciated.

PS: If the valve is indeed bad, could I install one of these on line, like this guy did it?
because the OEM valve for the '07 987 costs about $450…
