Check all rubber hoses on the intake manifold, and the evap detection pumps, and the one under the jeep near gas tank.

Looks like a good kit. I would do a google search on that part number and see what reviews you can uncover as well as part manufacturer info/origin

i looked up causes of PO445 code and the causes are something wrong in engine wiring harness or connector short circuit, purge control solenoid short circuit or PCM/ECM malfunction, is this an easy cheap fix or no?

The ticking you're hearing is probably the evap purge valve. Normal to bear it but should stop ticking not too long after. Do the simplest fix first. Get a new gas cap. I had that code and got a mopar gas cap. Code went away.

Oh wait you said you had a 0445. Here http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/p...-4-0-a-933799/
