Is the code number that you interpret as "purge throwing code" a secret for some reason? That would tell which one it is. P0446/P0449 relate to the VENT near the charcoal tank, P0443 relates to the PURGE valve under the hood. I am taking a wild guess, because difficulty in pumping gas, that the vent is stuck closed. Imagine filling a soda bottle with a hose, if the air can't get out the water can't get in.
If you do replace the VENT valve you need to get the part number that includes an adapter cable. 2006 modules have a different connector from all other years.
Please, never refer to OBD2 codes by the description given by the scanner, they rarely mean what you think they do. They are simply the name of a test, not what the result indicates.
In this case the hard shifting is unquestionably due tp the P0102. Yes the engine starts in open loop then after the the O2 sensors and engine temp get to operating temp it is supposed to go to closed loop. Closed loop means that the computer is using feed back loops with the sensors to control things.

I unplugged the hose at the purge under the hood and tried to blow out the hose. I didn't even get a chance to get under the car yet because of snow storms but The problem went away. Not sure if it was just from sitting a year but no more pending p0446 and for the first time I can pump gas at full speed. Not a huge issue it wasn't even giving me a CEL just a pending code and now it's gone. I'm sure it will come back at some point.. mechanical things don't usually fix themselves.
