Check Engine Light On problems of the 2018 Ford Focus

The vehicle is hard to start after I work a 10 shift. After it is started, it runs rough and tries to die. The only way to get it to stop running rough is to get it to highway speed for about 10 minutes. I have to rev the engine up with my foot on the brake just to get going. It has tripped the check engine light. I took it to auto zone to have them check the code. It says that it has something to do with the cannister purge valve. I have included the report from auto zone. I also did a search on the internet for 2018 Ford Focus recalls and it came back with the canister purge valve. Apparently my engine hasn't made it into the recall yet because nothing came up when I searched my VIN. I am afraid that I am going to try to cross a road and the engine dies right in front of oncoming traffic.
