i pulled off the top vaccum line on the canister it had suction i put my finger over it and the car cleared up nicely but when i kept it sealed off and pulled off the oil cap the problem was still there.

If so, you have a bad purge valve or a vacuum leak in the evap canister system or the PCM is cycling the valve when it should not (not as likely)
The fact that the oil cap problem persists could be explained by the PCM re-learning to compensate for the original leak as others have suggested.

i pulled off the line plugged it up and started the car
it was smooth as hell pulled off the oil cap and the rough idle was there. un plugged the vaccum line and the put the oil cap back on and it had a rough idle. should i just replace the purge valve?

Could be a bad valve or it could be a short to ground or a bad PCM. Here is the diagnostic chart.

afterwords i reconnected it with the oil cap on and it felt like the car was missing a little bit and when i pulled it off again and put my finger over it was much smoother

I would suggest you make the same test (remove hose and plug) with the engine idling with every vacuum line that is connected to your intake manifold and throttle body (with the exception of the hose to the FPR) to see if you find any other leaks. I have a sneaky suspicion that you may be dealing with more than one leak.
