Purge flow system is the fuel tank evap emission control; completely different system from the EGR.

Here's some general info:

EVAP Evaporative Emission Control System

before you spend any money I would check the vacuum hoses going to the purge motor (probably near the left rear wheel) Remove the hoses and look to make sure they aren't blocked. My altima hose was blocked with a moth nest.
good luck
