EVAP Canister Purge Control difficulty?

EDIT I'm an idiot and I think I forgot to plug the damn thing back in after changing out cops.

Hi again, your friendly Ford noob back again. I've been battling a misfire with no codes for a while now, I woke up this morning for work and I have a check engine light! Never thought I'd be relieved about this but it's a step in the right direction.

The code is P0443 or Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve. I did some Google searches and couldn't find a whole lot about the precedure of repairing this. Is it difficult? I'm assuming it's just a swap of the part right?
My gas cap seems fine although I read here that it wouldn't matter anyway. Thanks.

Clear codes and wait to see if it comes back.
It's a pretty simple system, a vent/vacuum line runs from the gas tank to a charcoal canister, and another line runs from there to the motor with the control valve inline. The computer commands the valve to open under certain conditions so fuel vapors can be drawn into the engine and burned.
