Depending on the year make and model of this car the lines are diffrent, the code you have have is a leak code, start with the gas cap, make sure it is tight and not loose, take a look at the rubber o ring on gas cap, check for cracks, a smoke machine would be a good tool here otherwise you will need to check all the lines but most of the time it is a cap or valve but with out car info it is hard to help you further

    After further thinking this code is for a vent valve problem, the most likely cause is due to vent valve problem, again what year,make and model

SOURCE: check engine light on,results in code P0446-fuel emission cotrol

Well it could be as simple as a new gas cap, or clean seal on it & tighten again. There are a few other items in the system too, but one common one is the vapor canister gets plugged up with dust & dirt.

Error code P0446 is an Evaporative Control System vent control malfunction. DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the certain components, or when there is a malfunction in either the VSV for EVAP, the VSV for
pressure switching valve, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.

2008 Mazda Tribute. Code PO446 hard to start when hot and high RPMs.

Code P0446 refers to the EVAP system. Evaporative (Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction).
There is a valve in this system that controls the flow of excess fuel vapour. The ECU, (the car's brain), is getting a bad signal from this valve. You'll need to get this sorted out soon as it will affect your fuel consumption and the emissions your vehicle produces.
The EVAP system keeps the parts in the fuel system as an airtight set up. This is to stop any fuel vapour escaping into the atmosphere by redirecting back through the engine.

I have 4 codes coming up on my pocket scanner,they are p0446,p0440,p0441,and another p0446 what are these for

P0440 = Evaporative Emission System.
P0441 = Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow.
P0446 = Evaporative Emission System Vent Control Circuit.
The vehicle is fitted with a system that recycles unburnt fuel in the exhaust gases, usually referred to as the EVAP system. This sounds like a possible issue with the valve built into this system.

2002 Buick Century, when the tank is 1/4 full,

P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction

The evaporative emission control system checks to make sure there are no leaks in the lines that run from the gas tank to the charcoal canister and up to the engine. It also checks to make sure the gas cap is sealing correctly.
It may just be that the cap was not on tight and the code was tripped.

A dusty environment can also clog the vent line and cause this code.
Have the code cleared and see if it comes back. Some auto parts stores like Auto Zone can read and clear the codes for you.
Hope this helps.
