Unrelated to my other post which was solved, I forgot to mention I have a P0496 code. I have replaced the Purge Valve (two times, both GM), the connector and the tube and the code keeps coming back. I read that the code *might* also be the charcoal canister and I just put two and two together and realized that when I pump gas it always stops multiple times and that could be the charcoal canister as well.
Does a bad charcoal canister trigger P0496?

Possibly, but either way with that symptom your charcoal canister needs replacing and possibly the lines blown out as well.
