SOURCE: purge solenoid location
which vehicle are you actually looking for the purge solenoid on? you have 2 vehicles listed in your question. i'll answer both, lol
the locations are described as if you are looking at the engine from the front of the car with hood open.
on the blazer:
it is located on the left side of the intake manifold just under and behind the throttlebody. it is a canister looking device.
on the silverado:
it is located on the intake manifold on the left side in about the same spot as the blazer. providing the silverado has the 5.3 or 5.7 liter engine. if it also has the 4.3 then obviously it will be the same.
hope this helps!

Go to Autozone or Oreillys for a free scan. The scanner will tell you exactly what is wrong. Now sometimes a Code will show a problem in the Purge system and its just a loose gascap. But other times it can be a small leak in a vent hose.
The Autoparts people can help you find the problem and sell you some of the parts to correct it. After you add a new part you need to clear the onboard computer with a scanner or unhook the NEG cable for 10 minutes.

In the rear up high near fuel tank or along frame rail,
among the EVAP System Components
Need a diagram of system to find & test components
Really need a scan tool & EVAP Smoke machine,
to test & find out, if you have anything that doesn't work
I assume you know codes do not tell you what is wrong
or what to replace,vehicles do not self diagnose themselves
and likely never will
SOURCE: I can't locate the canister
{: ) Top right center of the engine, near the fuel injector connector.
SOURCE: show vaccum lines for purge valve solenoid for egr
the purge valve doesn't have anything to do with the EGR so I don't know what you want? there should be a black plastic line with a green cap on it, follow that line to the purge valve near the intake manifold.

Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid
Description & Operation
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP) regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it reaches a specified temperature and the time delay ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles (energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10 times per second, depending upon operating conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operating condition.
Removal & Installation
The duty cycle evaporative (EVAP) canister purge solenoid is located in the engine compartment near the brake master cylinder.
