Ok I just got this a minute ago getting on the freeway I got it a month ago and it went away and came back.
Does any one have any idea how to deal with this at first I thought it was the gas cap so I bought a new one and it came back.
Any help is appreciated!:)

Code p1450 is for excessive fuel tank vacuum. Could be alot of concerns but most are with canister vent solenoid or debris in the evap system. Start by removing the spare tire and inspecting evap canister and all hoses back there. There should be one that is open to the air, take that one off and blow through it.
 






Thanks!
where is the canister vent solenoid located? or is it called a canister purge valve?
 












It is located in the evap canister which is above the spare tire. You must remove the spare tire to see it.
