Have you checked the hose behind the air filter box? I had the same code come on after I had an oil change. They must have checked the air filter and in doing so the hose became disconnected from the small tube down behind the air filter box. You can do a search on po446 and see what others say. Good luck hope this helps. Let us know how you make out.
thanks for the advice, there are no loose connections by the air filter. today I'll be under the car to make sure once again that there are no loose vacuum hoses. Is it just me or does staring at the check engine light while driving annoying and bothersome?
