Trouble Code: P0446 EVAP Vent Control Solenoid Circuit Malfunction Possible Causes: EVAP System Gross Leak (0.080") Detected Possible Causes:
Vent solenoid circuit open, shorted to ground or to power (B+).Vent control solenoid is damaged or has failed..PCM has failed.TSB 00-060 (7/00) contains information related to this code.Trouble Code: P0455
.EVAP control system pressure sensor is damaged or has failed.EVAP purge solenoid or canister vacuum line loose or off.EVAP purge solenoid is damaged or has failed.EVAP emission canister is dirty, restricted or full of water.EVAP canister vent control valve is damaged or has failed.Fuel tank cap loose, missing or it is the wrong part number.Fuel tank temperature sensor is damaged or has failed.Fuel tank vacuum relief valve is damaged or has failed.Large leak in the EVAP canister or in the fuel tank area.ORVR system is damaged or has a large leak in a component.Refueling control valve is damaged or has failed.Vacuum hose leaking between intake manifold and Purge valve.Here are the codes,take part back and get refund.

That is an EVAP code. its a vent control code. you can manually test it by powering it up if you know where its at. i cant remember exaclty where its at off the top of my head but its only 2 wires. using a volt meter you want to make sure power is getting to it, but you cannot activate it without dealer scan tool.hmmm if you can figure out which is ground and power when you give it 12 volts it should click. meaning your vent solenoid works and you have wiring problems or its leaking.
EVAP problems are hard to finde with out scanners. you can change the vent solenoid and hope it fixes it. but a code points you to the direction of a problem. hopefull its not wiring problems. in the northern states with snow. ice can pull out wires and also get clogged in the vent solenoid and lock it up. its either wiring or bad or a leaking solenoid. check condition of wires. if they look good try a vent soleniod.
if that doesnt fix it after a engine light reset and 2 weeks or so. then goto dealer. you need to reset it after repair. light will not go off on its own.GOOD LUCK

purge control valve sticking either open or closed. location depends on what engine you have
SOURCE: 99 Silverado code PO 300 what causes it? What parts needed to fix
p0300 is a random misfire. A scanner will need to tell the primary cyls that have problems. A (qualified) repair shop will need to check it. Could be from vac leaks, to fuel pressure, to spark problems????/

Most likely evap vent solenoid needs to be replaced. Locate replacement solenoid at auto parts store or dealer & replace.
Evaporative Control Vent valve has only one purpose. It closes in order to seal the vent so the EVAP system can pressurize and ensure there are no leaks. Evap vent valve is usually supplied Batt. voltage with key on. The ECM's driver controls the ground, and when grounded, activates the valve (closing it). If the ECM detects a short to ground, and open,or a short to battery voltage on the control circuit, P0446 will set. Code also may refer to ECM detecting that EVAP system is unable to achieve or maintain
vacuum during test.
