I have a check engine light on and can't get rid of it. Its P0443 and P0452 I have changed the Purge solenoid but still check comes right back on within like 5 mintues. Can anyone suggest another option?

Have you checked the hoses on the EVAP canister?? I had those codes pop up & wouldn't clear, turned out the fitting had broken off the canister..

It'll be the oval shaped plastic canister on the drivers side, under the truck. Between the back door & the fuel door.

A lot of us have had same issue. A true pain in the ***. Just to be sure, do as posters above state which is check for decaying or roting hoses. If they look good try what worked for me and replace the purge solenoid which is the white cap on the charcoal canister under truck.
