Thumbs down Re: P0446 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vent System Performance

I bought the haynes book and started to read. The EVAP Vent valve should be placed near the EVAP canister, but I cant find it... The haynes book also said that on erlier models (pre 1998) the EVAP vent valve dosent exist. On the earlier models there is a pressuresensor beside the Purge valve in the enginecompartment insted.
Maby my7 van is a erlier model.

The VIN: 1GNDX03EXWD133670

I also read somwere that somewhere in the enginecompartment there is a label that tells you more about the EVAP system. Where the hoses are conected and so on... but I can't find the label.

When I blow in the hose from the EVAP canister to the gastank I can build up pressure in the gastank... but when I blow in the hose from the purgevalve into the canister and plug the hose to gastank I can't build up pressure in the canister. It sounds wrong to me but I haven't plug the hose to the tankfill... so maby the pressure goes out that way.

How do a EVAP Canister work??? can I check it in some other way???

Maby I should have sucked in the hose insted???
