Have you let the system completely reset all systems?
THe Purge valve stuck open should cause a CEL and code. P0446 ,certainly a P044x and Durametric would have identified this fault.

If propane or other techniques do not work,it is because they are not being applied in the leaking location(in this case under the fender liner!)

you are correct, I did have code P0441, however I did not wait for the system to run a full diagnostic reset between clearing codes after i tried somthing with the intake, the evap code didn't show up until the evap system reset, which I believe is the last system to set, just want to make sure the same mistake is not being made that i did, with clearing the codes
