How do I fix a Tacoma that shuts off randomly

Hello, I have a 2000 Tacoma with a 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 and 236,000 miles on it. My problem is when I drive around for about an hour and I start to come to a complete stop the truck will shudder and then shut off, I have to put it back into park and start it up again. This usually only happens once a day, other than that the truck runs fine and no other issues. I do have a check engine light on, I had O'Reilly auto parts scan for the code which came up as P0446 EVAP system, I replaced the gas cap with an OEM one from the dealership and code is still there, could this be the problem with the truck stalling out? I have tried the following to remedy the problem:

1. Spark plugs changed

2. EFI relays replaced

3. Throttle position sensor replaced

4. MAF Sensor replaced

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Does it have an evap purge solenoid?  Are any of the evap lines pinched?  Vents working?

Replace the EVAP charcoal canister. 


Changed the EVAP charcoal canister 2 days ago and still stalled once
