When the car is started in the morning it idles rough because it's not purging correctly. I have already replaced the solenoid purge valve but it is still not purging so I need to find the canister and vent valve.

Sure, the canister vent valve is on the charcoal canister itself. You may need to remove the canister to get to it, I have included the vent valve location and how to remove it. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
