Check Engine Light - P1450 - 2015 2.0

I can see a lot of threads on this but not really on my model and the resolution or parts of it.

 

I got a check engine light 2 days back and on checking with the OBD II scanner - I found its the P1450

I havent seen any issues - no sounds - no driving issues - I did realize that the mpg has gone to 17 but that could very well be because of snowing lately.

Usually I get 20ish mpg

 

I need suggestions:

  1. Should I try removing the code and observe if it comes back?
  2. Should I just get the purge valve and replace it - if yes, does anyone has instructions on it (and where can I get the purge Valve from)
  3. Should I get it done by someone - what should be the charges?

 

Honestly I have never worked on my car before so it would be new for me but I am ready to put effort to save a 100 bucks.

 

Bonus: I am in Virginia so if anyone knows any shop which will be cheap and let me watch this - I can go there.

Finally, safe to drive for about 400-500 miles?
