Default Issues with Evap system

I was getting the P0452 code every now and then so I decided to change the sensor over the winter to fix it. I took it to get tested for emissions and it failed because its now throwing the code every 5 min. The sensor is brand new, what else can I check?? The car has always run with a little hesitation since day one. I brought it to the delear 3 weeks after I bought it and they said everything was fine. I just changed the oil and cleaned the air filter. I replaced the plugs last summer and nothing changed. I'm thinking I might have a bad computer. I pulled the plug on the MAF and nothing happened, no light, not even a bump in the idle.

I have to pass emissions by the 31st so I can renew my lisc plates. What else is there for me to check??

Did you figure out what the problem was?
