My car still is running ok, but I can't figure out what this means. I have a code for it, P-0446. I am trying to figure out what I need to do, without paying GM a crap load of money just to look at it! Does anyone know what this is? Or has anyone seen this before?
Also I was wondering how bad it would screw with the suspension, if I took off the front and rear sway bars to paint? Gotta get ready for bonneville Fest!!!! ![Very Happy](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Also check out east meets forum if anyone wants to meet up before bonneville fest! Springfield, IL isn't so bad, and if not I'm willn' to take a road trip! I would like to at least know a few people , before I drive up there without a clue! Later!

Look under the car in the vicinity of the fuel tank. The evap canister & associated hoses along with the vent valve should all be in close proximity. Need a 96-99 Gearhead to give specific locations, it might even be in the left wheel ext. area on 96-99. Please add your Bonne'* year, trim level etc. to your signature. I'm assuming you have a 97.
