If you do a search for "p0446", you'll immediately find that it points to a malfunction in the emissions (charcoal) canister, which is located in the fuel system. Here's a recent thread discussing this exact problem:

This seems to be very common in the ES.

thanx, but the difference between my situation and those in the posts are mine didnt throw on a "trac off", i think it has more to do with that little air leak in my situation, but then again i could be wrong
