How long since your last mod and what was it? Asking only because I see the throttle body listed in your signature.
The 2106 code is a throttle position sensor code. Also, going to sound like a stupid question, but have you checked your gas cap? The 0446 is Evaporative Emission Control system Purge Control Valve Circuit Shorted. AFAIK two things will cause that, the gas cap being loose, and the control valve being open or faulty. ( the control valve is that thing you don't know what it is on the drivers side strut tower under the hood ). But it could very well be a byproduct of the 2106 code, again leading back to the aftermarket throttle body. So far, pretty much no one has had any luck with the aftermarket throttle bodies.
