The best place I have found used parts like this is Ebay, the F5AZ-9C915-A vapor-management/purge valve has been discontinued. Do not assume F5TZ-9C915-A is interchangeable merely because the number is similar. I would check the gas cap O ring first and then use a flashlight to look for broken or disconnected EVAP system hoses, and if you cannot fin the leak check out this video to help pinpoint the problem.
Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on .

I had autozone scan the check engine codes and it said replace Purge valve. Now I have searched the internet for weeks trying to find one but apparently it was only produced for 2 years. I seen a video where you could possibly clean them somewhat and occasionally that would work so I removed it and lo and behold it's the wrong one that someone had put on. I bought it cheap and that may be why, they couldn't fix it properly. I got juck yards and parts store trying to come up with one. Not even Ebay has this particular one.

Hmm, yep that can happen, if you can find an OEM part from a wrecking yard clean it before installing it and clear the codes. But eh problem can still be a leak, I would use the video above to check it and looks for leaks, also you should be able to test the valve by blowing through it and then giving it 12 volts and a ground.
