Answer
Presuming that you have code P0446 or P0449, you have a problem with being able to properly vent fuel vapors through the charcoal canister.  The most frequent issues are a clogged canister or canister filter, or a stuck shut canister close valve.  Although less likely, a restriction anywhere else in the vent circuit between the tank and atmosphere could also be the issue.
