It's under the plastic cover on top of the engine . Remove the intake manifold top cover.
Remove the solenoid quick-connect hose (3) at the EVAP canister purge solenoid (4). Remove the solenoid quick-connect hose (7) from the EVAP canister purge solenoid (4) to the enhanced EVAP service port (8). Remove the electrical connector (6) at the EVAP canister purge solenoid. Remove the EVAP canister purge (2) solenoid valve bolt. Remove the EVAP canister purge solenoid tab from the bracket (5).

    Do you know where I might be able to get a fix it manual? Chilton does not have one and the only others I've found are more for a riviera then for a 1999 Oldsmobile with a northstar motor.

Coolant not circulating / fans working, water pump working and thermostat is new. Sound of water slushing in the firewall area. 1999 oldsmobile aurora 160000 miles

I assume you know that the only circulation happening unti lthe thermostat opens at its nominal temperature is through the heater core if in use. If peering into the radiator opening, you will not see more than the most minimal movement until the thermostat opens.

You may have an airlock in the system and it could be in the heater lines so if you have done a coolant change or had the system open, you need to purge the system of air.
If you have no radiator cap like many newer vehicles, this isn't as easy to accomplish. You will have to pass through several cycles of warmup and cool-down and each time refill the reservoir to the marked level with coolant mix. During this, you will have to have the heater control set to warm the interior so that the coolant is forced to circulate throughout the whole system.
