It takes about 30 miles of driving or so before the computer will clear an error code. If the canister was bad, there may be bits of charcoal trapped in the vacuum line and getting stuck in the new solenoid.. Check the solenoid by tapping it on the ground and seeing if you see small bits of charcoal...If that is truly your problem I would but a small lawn mover inline gas filter in the vacuum line. It will trap any residue and prevent clogging the new purge solenoid until all the particles have worked their way out the line...the filter is like 3.99

you should be able to fix it look for a can near the fuel tank that has vacuum hoses coming out of it and you should be able to just buy the bad solenoid

Where is the vapor canister on a 2007 Chevy Impala SS?

Have you changed your fuel cap? That is usually the culprit. If that doesn't solve your issue, a simple smoke test will show you where the system is leaking.

Code po446 what is it

Its what is called the EVAP. system the code is for the vent solenoid .Gas vapor in a vacuum is drawn from the fuel tank when this vent is commanded to be open drawn into a canister filled charcoal and stored until the canister purge solenoid is commanded to open .
This happens when the engine speed is at a higher RPM level and is supposed to send the vapor to the engine to be burned instead of VOC'S going into the atmosphere .But its a crazy lie the last time I filled up more VOCS got into the atmosphere then a gas tank vent could do in 6 month or so .
You can try cleaning the filter in the vent solenoid it might work but the part is about 70 dollars its in the rear between the tank and the canister look for hoses .

Hello had the same problem in my 2006 Isuzu I-280 I needed to
replace at this moment the Evaporative Valve Soleniod which is instaled next to the Vapor Canister. It is mounted on the frame behind the gas tank you will have to move the spare tire out of the way one bolt holds it in place this is where the canister is and the valve is mounted on the canister this is where it is mounted on my 2006 I-280. If you need to replace the solenoid and you can't find the original Isuzu part, you can ask for the 2006 Chevy Impala V-6 3.5 Purge Valve Solenoid. It is the same piece. The old Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid has a number part PA-GF30, and it is the same part number I found in the new Chevy Impala Evaporative Vent Valve Solenoid.
