2013 Ford Focus P1450 Unable to bleed up the fuel tank vacuum EASIEST FIX EVER!

[@DewayneGore]

I hope this helps someone who is worried about all the "it's a nightmare" videos on KZbin. This is the easiest repair ever, seriously. It took all of ten minutes to replace, no special tools necessary.

[@dimka-ls4cx]

Hey Dewayne Gore thank you, also I love that you had a short film, I don’t want to see people taking 20mins taking things apart, you went straight to the point and how it comes off, that’s all we need!

[@dereksuddreth8672]

"Topping Off" the fuel on newer model cars can cause the purge valve to malfunction. When refueling your vehicle, the fuel pump handle will click "OFF" to prevent over-fueling. Do not continue to force more fuel into your tank or liquid fuel may get into the purge valve. These valves are designed to remove pressure and fuel vapors only!.

[@pollux2825]

stop. you sound dumb. these focus’ have this problem and it’s extremely common 90% of the time it’s not the owners fault this happen the purge valve goes on these all the time.

[@NathirRawashdeh]

This video is very helpful. I took the hose off and spayed WD-40 in it and tapped the solenoid part with a screw driver handle. This loosened the "stuck open solenoid". If you blow air into the hose the flow should be blocked. Erased the error code.

[@stampinwithsunnyside]

This just happened to my daughter we couldn’t figure out what happened! After she added fuel it would not start a friend of hers put that diagnostic thing on and said the same thing about her Ford 2013 thank you for posting this video it helps a lot wish me luck I’m gonna try this!

You are very welcome, hope it helps!

[@z3phyrdok]

Thx man! I've been looking for this video for months! I saw it once but couldn't find! This is the damn issue with my wife's car!

[@Drew-Draws]

Superb video, got rid of my check engine light in less than a day

[@DookSilvur]

Thanks for the walkthrough! Other videos definitely made it seem more complicated. Started having this problem on my '16 Focus ST and wasn't looking forward to the fix. I'll be knocking this out over the weekend!

[@DewayneGore]

No problem, bud. Just had so many issues with this vehicle that I like to share what I did to fix them. Love the car, but especially the transmission has been nothing but trouble.

[@DookSilvur]

UPDATE: I replaced the part and on an ST (and I'm assuming RS focus as well) the lines are a bit longer because they go up across the top of the motor and down around the front. Still just a 10-15 minute job and done. Codes cleared and no issues!

[@DewayneGore]

@@DookSilvur Awesome news! Thanks for getting back with me on it.

[@kathelinacrespo1010]

Going to be using this video today for my Focus Fix. You explained it very thoroughly so I'm looking forward to it!

[@deshyrro]

How’d it go

[@DewayneGore]

UPDATE: Have not had another problem with the car after this fix. The check engine light has not come back on, so that's a good deal.

[@CrazyGuyTray]

hey buddy, i did this but check engine light is still on what do you think would be next

[@DewayneGore]

@@CrazyGuyTray Did you use an OBD2 tool to clear the check engine light? I would hook one to it and clear all of the codes and see if it comes back.

[@CrazyGuyTray]

I just used the one at AutoZone

[@TexasRigged]

Used your method just now to replace mine, 2018 Focus. My check engine light is still on, but I'm hoping after driving some miles it will turn itself off. Had code P1450, hopefully this fixes it

[@DewayneGore]

Have you tried resetting the light with an OBD2 mEter? I'd give that a try. If you don't own one, check your local auto parts store, they usually will clear it for you or loan you the tool to do it yourself. If not, chances are that it will auto clear after about 50 miles or so.

[@TexasRigged]

@@DewayneGore yeah I'll probably head back over there on Tuesday when I'm off work to see if they can clear it, I did order a scan tool just for future issues though. Thank you for your video, just a flat head and a pair of long nose pliers did the trick lol

[@stellarb67]

Did the Check Engine light turn off after 50 or so miles automatically? Or did you have to get it cleared manually? I replaced it and took the negative terminal off for 5 minutes and the light is still on😳🫣🤣

[@TexasRigged]

@@stellarb67 It was about a year ago now, but I remember going to Advanced Auto. Got the evac tube that you have in the video..maybe $40 or so. Replaced that and then I'm pretty sure I just cleared the code from there with a scan tool, haven't had a problem since, I know I mentioned the check engine light still being on when I replaced the evac tube. Once I got the scan tool in the mail I cleared it right there

[@HVX_Customs]

What was the pry bar used for? Great video by the way!!

[@diana7090]

How did you get the check engine light off did you erase it

[@DewayneGore]

I used an OBD2 scanner/reader to reset it. You can go to an autoparts store such as Advance Auto or Autozone, and most of them will reset it for free. It's basically clearing the codes. Or, you can purchase one cheap online on ebay or Amazon.

[@tonyamiller6554]

I have the same problem with mine is this what they are saying is the throttle body? Because I called to see how much the IAC control valve was and he said my car didn’t have one?

[@ChrisHanken]

Among another O2 sensor code I’ve had cycle on and off for 5 years owning this vehicle, I have this issue and code as well as rough/high idle. Did you experience any high idling? Mine is barely higher than normal, I’m not letting off the brake and burning out or anything just a little high. When I’m parked sometimes it’s idling low and I had the exact same issue fueling up as you did. Right after we purchased the Focus used with just under 100K miles the fuel tank collapsed and was since replaced and it’s had a recall repair on the fuel purge valve.

[@revahall7839]

was your other code p2196? Thats what I'm getting along with the p1450.

[@ChrisHanken]

@@revahall7839, Close - P2195. O2 sensor signal stuck lean bank 1 sensor 1

[@dylanhoward237]

@@ChrisHanken that's what I'm getting along with the P1450 code. I'll come to a stop and it'll stay at 1500 RPM, only sometimes though. And I'll be sitting playing on my phone (at around 750 RPM) and it'll rev back up to 1500 RPM.

[@ChrisHanken]

@@dylanhoward237 I never got to figure out or fix the issue - I was hit and the Focus was totaled!

[@justinburton2816]

@@dylanhoward237 hey man did you ever get it fixed if so how and was it the method in the video. Mine has the same exact codes and problems. I’m trying to get it fixed seeing as I drive a 2013 Scion tC and my wife owns our 2012 Ford Focus and it’s our only four door vehicle and her and my daughter ride around in it all the time so I’m desperate to fix it lol

[@Rididulouss]

Your doing amazing for ur first video just fwi

[@jendn3655]

My car has the same code and i have notices that it also feels like it runs rough after getting gas. I went to an auto shop to get the code they recommended to replace the Evaporative Emission vent control valve. I decided to do more research on it and came across this video and now I’m wondering if I should change this first.

Hi Dewayne.. i got the engine light this morning for 2015 ford focus.. P1450... its holiday weekend, do you think i can continue driving for 2 weeks before i get this fixed ? thank you

[@DewayneGore]

It will not harm your vehicle to continue driving it, but it can be an annoyance having the code show up each time you start your vehicle.

[@gilvazquez443]

@@DewayneGore thank you DeWayne.. yes it does bother me seeing the engine light on.. lol.. thanks again

[@aaronrodden8121]

@@gilvazquez443 Hate to butt in but YES, this is a dangerous code to have! What happens is when the vapor can not be recycled for fuel, it builds up pressure inside the gas tank (especially when the tanks full) and is like sucking through a straw I a bottle with out taking a breath, it starts to collapse the bottle because all the airs sucked out! What happens is when your on a long trip and it's really sticking is the ECM realizes it and will literally shut the engine down just like that! There is a recall on this for that reason (it's dangerous) and also, you will NOT be able to restart the car as it acts like all voltage is home from the battery and literally nothing works! I know this because it JUST happened to me on the hwy at about 70 mph! I had the code for two weeks, figured it's an easy fix, went fishing out if town 45 min away and almost became fish food lol!! Do t wait, FIX IT because your life is not worth a simple fix like this! Look up the recall on this, it'll explain better but basically it acts like a vacuum sucking air from the gas tank until it just collapses or it trips the ECM. The way I had to restart my car was with a jumper, once started, let it run for 5 mins, shut off then slow charge it. I'm not sure on the "why" it kills the battery part but hey...it's a Ford, it's not suppose to make sense lol. God Bless and thank you O.P. For your vid on this to help others.

If your Check Engine Light is on, and you have code P1450, that should solve the problem. That's what was going on with mine. My car ran fine after a few minutes, but it only ran rough when I first cranked it up after putting fuel in my tank.
