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

DTC P0446 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent System Performance
The vehicle control module (VCM) monitors the performance of the evaporative
emission (EVAP) system by applying a predetermined level of vacuum to the
EVAP system and monitors the vacuum decay rate. The VCM sets this diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) if the vacuum decay rate is more than a predetermined
value. The VCM monitors the amount of vacuum and the amount of pressure
in the EVAP system by monitoring the fuel tank pressure sensor. For
this DTC, the VCM turns ON both the EVAP purge valve and the EVAP vent
valve when the Conditions for Running the DTC are met. This applies
an engine vacuum to a closed EVAP system. The VCM turns OFF both the
EVAP purge valve and the EVAP vent valve when the system reaches a correct
amount of vacuum. The EVAP system should quickly RELEASE the vacuum
in the EVAP system with the EVAP purge valve OFF and the EVAP vent valve
OFF (open). This test indicates a blocked or restricted EVAP vent path
if the EVAP system fails to release the vacuum quickly enough.

You will need to remove the right front wheel & wheel well liner. The canister purge valve is behind the cover. It should have two tube going into the bottom and one on the side near the top.
You can fix it!
If this helps you out please rate me!

The evap purge solenoid is located on the intake manifold. The evap vent valve is located on the side of the fuel tank. If you have a P0449 or P0452 (I think) DTC, it will be the one on the tank that you need to replace.
