Default What else could this be?

Here is what i have... P1443 code which is evap code and so far i have replaced the sensor with the two vacuum hoses going to it that is right up against the fire wall on passenger side. I think its called something like purge canister valve. now i know there is something else that is behind the passenger side wheel that may have gone bad but could this be a simple as old, dry, cracked vacuum hoses?

It could be just a bad line... instead of throwing more parts at it, get the system smoke tested... and you will see where the damage is

Like fox said smoke test the system so you don't throw anymore unneeded parts at it. The charcoal canister is the rectangular type thing in the rear wheel well. I've had the same problem on my Tbird since I got it. I replaced everything and checked the entire system for leaks but it still throws the code.
