I'm not 100% on this, but i believe PO446 is EVAP vent solenoid performance. If you have access to a decent scanner or a gm tech 2, you will be able to control the solenoid through the special functions menu. If you don't have access to a scanner, you will need to complete the circuit by applying power or ground to the solenoid (again, not sure which. I use the scanner. A safe bet would be to disconnect the electrical connector and apply both power and ground) However you do it, you should listen for a click from the solenoid. They get jammed up quite often and have to be replaced. All this is based on P0446 being "EVAP vent solenoid performance" If I'm wrong on the code, this probably won't help. Best of luck.

I appreciate your input, I only connected the code reader and erased and reseted the code it's been 3 days and it hasn't come back on so I dont know if it reseted right or not but it is not coming back on so I think I'm good with that till now thanks again.

Theres a tsb on 99-03 trucks about this problem, your supposed to change the vent solenoid, whivh is what the code is for in the first place, and then relocate the small filter you cleaned to on top of the tranny, but you need parts to perform thus that i know parts stores won't have . Take it to a dealer and they will most likely perform the bulletin

This thread is 4 years old. It's time to put it to bed and start a new one if there is a problem.
