The purge solenoid is right in front of the driver side tire under the battery. Maybe that big ol tire hit the solenoid and cracked a fitting or knocked a hose loose.
it would account for the stalling-lean condition

I'll check that tomorrow and post what I find. Thanks!
 






Just out of curiosity, turn your wheels all the way to right, and see how close the tire is to the purge lines. Inside other wheelwell is the vaccum reserve bottle, situated in just about the same manner.
I did hit my reserve bottle with my huge tire, lowered setup, I have since re located it.
 






Solenoid and connections seem to be OK. I read up on another thread and rechecked the gas cap. Reset the code and it appears to be OK for now. Only time will tell if it's completely gone. Thanks!!!
 






My code P0446 came back the other day and is now gone but I'm not sure if that I thought the purge solenoid was exactly it. Anyone have a pic of what this solenoid looks like?
