P0446 only

Specs
2001 toyota avalon xls with 65,000 miles.

cel with vsc and vsc off lights (code number p0446)

I went to dealer and they handed me a bill of $450 for parts and $650 total for labor. I have read across the forums about different pricing and even if i pay the 650 the light may come back on, the vsv valve or the hose is the problem 90% of the time etc.

They reset the code and cel has not come back (yet).

Is it worth for me to spend 650 on replacing the charcoal canister and am i overpaying for the parts/labor ??

Thanks csaxon. Read the code, used the URL, and got the canister. Solved the problem for two hundred bucks.
