Default Error code PO446

Hi,
I have a 2001 Chevy Malibu with the error code PO446. It turns on the check engine light, but when I scan it, the code is inactive and have to refresh , then delete it from it's history status to turn off the check engine light. I've changed the gas cap and the EVAP value already. This happens only about once a month. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Jim

Look up this P code to see how to repair it.

Check out the purge valve Solenoid Under the rear of the car byt the Evap canister. its easy to take off hook a Small Sqaure 9 volt batter up to it and see if it clicks if it does it means its working. and it may be in the wiring
