Can a cracked hose cause p0443 code?

$700 to replace a small item? You think thats outrageous, a small shop downtown was going to charge me near $900 to replace a wheel bearing, (plus if the spindle was bad.) My venture has a code P0442. Still trying to see wtf it keeps coming on. I replaced the gas cap and had to fix the filler neck on the tank due to a large leak.

Thank you!!! i have a 2002 Dodge caravan and im having the same issue, but the only problem is my Purge Valve is located in the bottom of the car under the driver seat and its a lil harder to get to, but hopefully it shouldn't be a problem. btw the auto mechanical shop wanted to charge me $450...
