Hi AGAIN!!!!! Love this piece of crap..
1997 Honda Accord LX 4 CYL 2.2L SOHC 160k Miles
Yesterday i took off my air intake hose to clean the throttle body, after cleaning it, i put everything back together and it drove fine with no CEL. Then today all of a sudden my CEL is on and got the code pulled, got P0441, which is, i’ve been told, a bad PCS (Purge Control Solenoid), could cleaning the throttle body of done this? Did i do something when removing air intake?
ALSO!
What are possible problems caused by a bad PCS??? Please let me know!

That code has nothing to do with the throttle body.
I would check the purge solenoid itself.http://www.justanswer.com/honda/25x0t-p0441-code-96-accord-took-firestone.html
As pointed out that code should have nothing to do with you cleaning your throttle body. The thing is you may not be able to diagnose the problem yourself without a service manual and a smoke machine. EVAP codes can be tricky to track down without the proper diagnostic equipment. BTW as the article pointed out I don’t think it has anything to do with your PCS either. In fact I rarely if ever see a problem with those on Hondas. I do however see issues with some of the vent valves near the canister but once again you need the proper test procedures and possibly a smoke machine to check for leaks to properly diagnose that.
