It has been happening for approximately one year happens every couple of weeks, doesn’t last too long I shut off the engine and wait about 30 minutes then it’* back to being normal I am running perfectly fine. Had the spark plugs changed and also replaced the throttlebody.

PO300 tells me it'* at least 1996 or newer. Regardless of what you drive we need more info to help you.

Is this on the 2012 Enclave? If not, what year/make/model is it?

How many miles on it?

Did this problem start before or after replacing the spark plugs?

Did this problem start before or after replacing the throttle body?

Does this happen soon after refilling the fuel tank?

Replace the purge valve.

Yep. Purge valve, because:

- It might be at fault
- If it isn't at fault now, it will be soon
- All other troubleshooting will be tainted by the knowledge that the purge valve is likely the problem
