You may need the shop manual for this.
Code 446 is a problem with the evap venting system, and code 453 is a problem with the gas tank pressure sensor.
The two problems may be connected.

Codes po452 and po453

both codes point to the fuel tank evap pressure sensor. High and low input faults.
Try clearing the codes first and seeing if they come back

You may have a vacuum leak, cracked or open vacuum line or faulty sensor.

Emmisions codepo442,po446,po452,po453

Hi there,

These codes are for the fuel system the system performs a pressure test when the vehicle reaches a certain speed for a certain period of time, predetermined from the factory. The Gas cap is the most likely suspect.  Disconnecting battery will reset (and delete) all error codes and clear the check engine light, VSC, etc. idiot lights on the dash.

Post further comments if further you have the same problem....

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Turned car off at gas station want start back acts like missin

all of these problem codes refer to EGR valve and emission controls. It may be, if egr was fixed, it would be ok!! take off EGR valve and clean carbon from egr hole in engine and from EGR valve. if egr valve is bad or plugged with carbon then the car will act like it is not getting fuel, it will bog down.
