P0443 Purge solenoid valve circuit problem

My “check engine” light is on so I read the error and it showed me:
P0443 Purge solenoid valve circuit problem
And only this – it was deleted but it came back after couple of days.
Could you advise please?

Sorry, I’m not quite clear about this. Could you tell me what is it, how to fix it and how much this will cost?

Uuuuuugh
I should have never posted here, I was drunk.
Serves me right for drunk posting.

I'm hung over but in a good mood.
So I'm nicely saying you could have figured this out yourself. Well I need to believe you could have.

Most likely cause is the Gas cap, either buy a new one or make sure its on tight.

Thanks,
I’ve found this: http://www.justanswer.com/mazda/5njc7-rx-gt-2006-last-month-evap-code-came-gas-cap-intermittent.html
So it looks there are many possible reasons.
Main question is, if I can drive or should I fix it as soon as possible? Is it dangerous for my car to use it with this error?

sweet me too 2005

The engine is still a Series I model. Likely a Reman.

And don't even try to say they put a series II engine in your car .. because they didn't.

Search the forum and you'll find out why

Ok ... I checked that link out you posted ... that dude is ummm wrong and right and its for a 2006 RX8 which had new polution crap installed after our 2004-2005 models

Have a look at this link
http://foxed.ca/rx7manual/2003mazdar..._S01_0230.html

See third hyper link

BTW that web site is AWESOME for all RX stuff!!!

Here is the Series II engine in a Series I Rx8

Done by Ash8 .. not a person to be trifled with

OH and to answer your earlier question "is it dangerous to drive?"

No .. its fine but you should get it fixed

You're welcome

Good luck

If you're inclined ... a visual inspection may reveal a disconnected hose
