Can someone get this ****ing code off my car
P0443. It's EVAP. I replaced the valve on the intake manifold and the code is still there. The valve was $200. It doesn't affect performance but it cant pass emissions.

Did you check the fuse? Did you reset the CEL?
1008
The Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve uses an on/off duty cycle to control the flow of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. Diagnostic Trouble Code 1008 is set when the Engine Control Module (the computer) detects an improper signal through the valve. The problem is likely to be in the electrical wiring, harness, or the valve itself.
Check fuse #58 (10 amps) and replace if necessary.
The CPVCSV is easy to see and reach. It is located in the engine compartment, mounted to the top of the upper intake manifold. Notice the Vehicle Serial number stamped into the firewall. Put your finger on the third-from-last number. Move your finger three inches toward the radiator. That's the CPVCSV. It has one two-wire electrical connector and two vacuum hoses. It is directly above the ignition coil connector for cylinder #5 and has to be removed in order to replace the #5 coil or spark plug.
You may test the valve. This test procedure is performed with the engine off. Remove the electrical connector and both vacuum hoses. Fasten a length of clean rubber vacuum tubing to either nipple. Gently blow through the hose. The valve should be closed and it should be difficult or impossible to send air through the valve. Now use a pair of fused test leads to provide 12 volts to the electric terminals. The polarity doesn't matter. With the solenoid energized the valve should be open and it should be easy to send air through the valve.

Sorry for the late reply. I was busy since this morning until now believe it or not replacing ONE hub bearing and I'm still not done and now I need a hole new hub. Put about $400 in parts since I got the car in Sept.
Cleared the code. I reset the ECU many times. Checked all fuses and found #58. I did not replace the canister. Is there another sensor or valve near the canister that can throw 0443? I read that there is. The EVAP vent control valve in this picture right near the canister.
Could that throw the code? Thank you all the for the replys.
The only thing I can think of to fix it is to replace the valve near the canister and the canister itself but it will have to wait until March when I have to renew the tag and pass emissions.

Yes this can and will trigger your CEL. P0443 is is your evaporative emission control system purge control valve circuit malfunction, u can still pass e-test with it cause i did(with a cai and a cat-back). Try hitting it lightly a couple of times, this worked for me, but if not for u, replace the valve. I tried clearing the code with OBD2, and it will work for a short period but eventually your CEL will come back on.

The CEL cleared itself yesterday and it hasn't come back and I drove the car off and on a lot yesterday. It might come back today it might not. If it does I'll do what you suggested.
Thanks for the replys everyone.
