I had that code along with a vacuum leak on my 2010 3.8. Turned out to only be the purge valve solenoid. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2PBGYG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Autozone paper https://imgur.com/gallery/JqpITJP shows to replace evap control valve. Found this on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NWCT44W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_xMAWFbTVADVA7 to hopefully fix it, think I'm good to drife it till then?
You can try to clean the contacts off the solenoid and wire harness but I never had luck with that.
In the end, I bought one of these and it works perfectly.
How difficult of a job is it? I consider myself pretty mechanically inclined (replaced the alternator two months back) but I like to know what I'm getting myself into. This seems to be the exact part?
