yes i searched, po446
Most of the info I found was in regards to the gs400, I don't think they are the same? Anyone know the part # for the vsv valve under hood? I have the po446 code and want to change the easier things 1s before looking at the canister. Looks like I will have to order this from the dealer so I want to have the correct #. Also would appreciate if anyone knows where I could get it cheaper. Thanks.
thanks for all the help guys! lol. I'll try to help the next man. The p/n is 90910-12188 for the vacuum switching valve for a 99 gs 300. If you have an 01-05, the p/n is 90910-12243. See the link for the diagram:

It's located behind the intake on the driver's side. Just follow the vsv hose from below the car. Look for the green cap.

I have a 98 GS400 and I have that code also, I took the car to the dealer and they said it was the gas cap that was loose......10 mins later the light came back on, same code!!!! Are you going to change the VSV out yourself? If you do let me know how hard of a job it was!

I have a gs 300 so it's in a different location. But it's easy for both. You find the valve, it with have an electrical connector and two hoses attached to it I believe. You disconnect all of them and there will be one bolt holding the valve in place. Remove the nut and replace the valve.

I just change mine this weekend, its the VSV pressure solenoid on the charcoal canister.
It wasn`t that hard. You`ll need a long ¼ in extension, 10mm deep well socket, needle nose pliers, and a precision pliers (small miniature pliers) and the solenoid of course which is 79.00 at the dealer.
1. Remove the 3 vacuum lines and the electrical connector from the VSV solenoid. Make sure to get an eye view as were each vacuum line goes just incase you unexpectedly disconnect one.
2. Removed the 3 - 10mm nuts which holds the canister in place.
3. Once canister is loose, turn the canister length ways so you can access the solenoid retaining screw.
4. Use the miniature pliers to pull the solenoid retaining screw. This retaining screw is a Phillips head but I couldn`t get a stubby Phillips screwdriver on it, therefore I used the mini pliers.
5. Once the screw is out you can remove solenoid.
6. Here`s the trick. Connect the electrical connector to the new solenoid so that it may assist you in securing the solenoid retaining screw onto the bracket.
7. Once that`s complete secure canister to the body and check all vacuum lines
Took me an hour tops. Spent most of my time trying to secure the screw to the new solenoid because of my big hands. Hope this helps.
