dude im pissed off. i changed the canister an dthe valve and its still showing the po446 code. for somereason teh valve was on upside down and it wasnt even CONNECTED to th eelectric port. i installed new and connected it but im not even sure if its gettin proper voltage. so that could be the problem. also there are 2 line goin out the canister. 1 for fuel 1 for air. the fuel one connects to a white housing and i notcied that is broke. i think its called teh vaccuum control valve . but its white and its connected to teh charcoal canister via a few short hoses. I have no idea what to do. or why its still reading the po446. also now i have a p1400 which is egrc valve. i know that is under the hood i guess im having to change that too..an dlastly my knock sensor code went off too. but I heard the knock sensor doesnt trick the check engine light. but does that mean a faulty knock sensor will stop your car from gettin a inspection sticker.

3 problems po466 , knock sensor , and p1400'plkease help
