Fuel Fail 89

I'm new to any forums but I will just start. I have a 93 XJ6 Vanden Plas with a Check Engine light showing a Fuel Fail 89 code which I understand is Purge Valve error also the check engine light will flash intermittently while driving. I have checked the Purge Valve and it holds vaccum. No problems found. I hate to just replace a part but may have to. Any with similar problems?

Thanks
