Canister Purge Valve Replacement 2012-2018 Ford Focus 2.0L

[@fspano112]

As a novice DIYer, I can't thank you enough for your instructional video on this repair. Other than the tough to reach connection, it was really not complicated at all. Watching your video beforehand definitely helped! Prior to replacing this part on my daughter's 2014 Ford Focus, it was stall and run rough or stall immediately after getting gas. After replacing the part, I went and filled up and no stall or rough idle. Cleared the code and will wait a few days and hope that was the fix. Thanks again for guiding us DIYers!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That's really cool! Hope your out of the woods.

[@leamago]

wow by far the best DYI video ever. Camera angle, lighting, vocal and physical instruction, did not over talk, precise, thorough, accurate, cudo's

[@itswavo]

i noticed in my setup while replacing the same part in the exact same as yours that there was an open small black hose located near the rear clip that had “Ford Motor Co. PB 130” written on it, it’s insignificant to the video but I when I noticed it, I had assumed while replacing my part that i had accidentally disconnected the black hose from something. I was panicking. However, I found this video to view and I had to look very closely but I did notice that your hose is also disconnected and exposed. That definitely gave me some relief because I thought I had removed something and lost it. We are all good now!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I think your speaking of the transmission vent line. It connects to the top of the transmission and then comes up and makes an upside down J shape. If it is the vent hose you are talking about it is not supposed to be connected to anything on the open end but it is supposed to be seated inside the top of the transmission.

[@itswavo]

@@BarboursAutoHelp Thank you for clarifying. Yes that description matches the part I am talking about. You helped me tremendously!

[@davelockhart5250]

Finally thank you someone that has enough brains to show how to work the release tabs thank you thank you

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

No problem.

[@trentrodgers1875]

1 year later you helped another soul… pretty easy install but I appreciate your insight! The Focus lives on to tell more tales 😂

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Oh this is still a fresh video! Glad it helped.

[@miowacity]

Thanks for the video. This video convinced me to try to replace the part. Your demo of the snaps was the most helpful part because for the life of me I couldn't figure that out. Also your idea to remove the power cable from the air intake was actually really useful and gave me just the extra bit of room to detach the plug. I just need to wait for the error code to go away. I hope it goes away eventually without a reset.

[@NeedlessJ93]

Awesome demo! "if you have codes... yeah you probably have codes if you're watching this" 🤣 nailed it

[@Wizzleteatsify]

Well done. Thorough, well spoken instructions. Thank you

[@armandoreyes5001]

The clarity and time you take to explain everything is very much appreciated. Thank you so much for this video, you definitely have a new follower!

[@mjkiii9603]

Fantastic video that effectively outlines this process! This is such a simple repair, really anyone could do it after watching this video! You could quite literally do the entire thing with a single screwdriver, and thats only if your hands are too big to reach past the air duct (which mine are). Great video that is certainly worth the watch.

[@peterlee5338]

Thank you so much for the demonstration, ever so clear on the disassembly.

[@jasonwetzel9733]

One of the best instructional videos I've seen yet. Very clear and informative. Well done and thanks for the help

[@mistwolf1315]

Super helpful. I just took the air hose to get the lower hose for the valve off rather than taking off the whole air box.

[@LucidGhostbuster]

Thank you so much, only took me a few minutes to change mine out after watching this video

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad it helped

[@frankymaldonado44]

All of your videos have been so helpful I appreciate ya 👏🏽.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad you like them!

[@neughost1204]

Thanks for the location help, AllData was useless, you just saved me 45 minutes

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That's what the channel is about. Thanks for commenting.

[@richardsimmons7]

Thanks a lot man this was perfect 👍🏻

[@bignateym70]

Just did this, it worked out great. Took about 10 minutes.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

So happy to hear this! Great job!

[@1995c-p2i]

Stunningly detailed analysis and video recording of connectors. It helped a lot !

[@orlandonunez6167]

Thank you brother. Girlfirends car has a check engine light bc of this issue. Nice video

[@dragonridermtz]

Thanks I was able to fix it in like 20 minutes

[@nicholasdever8538]

Is this something that could cause a stumble at idle without showing any codes? thanks for the tutorial here

[@_AMICUM_]

Thanks a bunch for this brother. Great video clear and concise God bless

[@mexfluffy5927]

I just wanna say thank you you’re video help me out a lot

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad to help

[@GALVIN4487]

Just what I needed 👍🏼 thank you

[@astavn]

First I’ve heard of this recall and I’ve had the car over a year

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Perhaps it had already been done to your vehicle prior to you owning it. You can call your dealer, give them your VIN and have them check if this is still open.

[@devoncampbell4039]

Outstanding Performance 🇯🇲

[@shawanalee3752]

Thank youI love your instructions close ups🙂

[@faintestoftraces]

I had this repair done when they issued the recall in 2018, now having the same problem again with the same code P1450, but since they already did the recall repair, even though that now it’s failed, they won’t cover it for a second repair

[@Synthetic11]

Well done...thank you

[@mustangmarty8491]

👍 Great job sir of explaining 💯 Thank you

[@nowzthetime]

I have a 2016 Focus that is stalling but for some reason it is not showing up under the recall when I put my VIN number in

[@MrsaturnMD]

How soon should the check engine light go away? I just installed this today on my 18 focus st and I just drove it around a bit to see if chdkc engine light would turn off.

[@ericperryman5661]

Thank you mate saved me a 100 bucks cheers💪

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

That's what it's about! Glad to hear this!

[@kaylamorgan5175]

My 2017 ford focus had the recall done but it's been showing the ususal symptoms of needing a new purge valve?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

It's possible that the new valve could be bad....It happens.

[@Tuckerjay2]

Thank you for doing a walk-through on how this is done. I try to complete has many things has someone who doesn't have much knowledge working on vehicles has possible. The only question that I have for you is. When you disconnect the end of the lines. Are you going to have any fuel come out of the line?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

There shouldn't be any fuel to come out....Unless the valve is stuck wide open and has been sucking fuel from the fuel tank. This does happen but only in extreme cases. If any fuel were to be there it would be minimal.

[@dandavid2027]

Hell yeah thank you for ur help huge help. You’re the man

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

No problem 👍

[@felipevisbal1414]

This was super helpful 🔥

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad it helped!

[@YosuffVonJohn]

will I have to replace my Purge solenoid as well ? also what happens if you don't clear the codes?

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

If the problem is fixed the PCM will erased the code after a few drive cycles if the light is not turned off. However, if the problem is not fixed the light will stay on.

[@PrestonEddings-o7z]

Thank you,very helpful

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

You are welcome!

[@Wdthyfdo]

Do you really have to waist those hard line pipes everytime the purge valve is replaced ? Cant you just keep those hard line pipes in place and remove only the purge valve ?

[@RandyMullis1]

This is so helpful!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Glad you think so!

[@basemalhawajreh6279]

When I started my car ford focus2013 after that I am hearing whistling sound under the car from back side .are this sound related to the fuel tank relief vave

[@z3phyrdok]

GREAT VIDEO MAN!

[@RomeoRuizMusic]

Nice video. Question if I may : can you just replace the actual center solenoid piece itself without having to disconnect the hoses and everything else ? Or do you have to buy the whole assembly ( solenoid piece and hose ) all together and replace all of it ? Thank you kindly. 😊

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Usually comes with the hoses on it. I don't think you can get it any other way.

[@d.columbia9603]

Probably a dumb question but below where you clipped the rubber peice to the bracket there is a black hose coming up just hanging out. Is that supposed to be connected to something? Or it just has a clip to keep it stationary

[@jogman262]

And this should take care of a P1450 code? Thank you.

[@Alexguer_]

I cannot get the green piece off

[@carymgc]

Thank you! I successfully replaced the canister purge valve on my 2015 ford focus thanks to you! However my check engine light is still on. The code is for the canister purge valve i just fixed. How do i get the check engine light to turn off now? Please help. I cant find anything on the internet how to get the check engine light off.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

You use a scan tool to erase the codes. If the code comes back after this then the problem is not resolved.

[@carymgc]

@@BarboursAutoHelp will the issue be resolved after i erase the engine light? The reason is i replaced the part and my car still had idle issues. The code i have os for the check engine light

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

@@carymgc I don't know. I don't even know what code you have. Codes can be caused by several different things, the component just being one of them. So, I don't know. I do know that if you erase codes and the light comes back then you didn't fix it.

[@kjcustomsauto]

Can these issues cause your ac to malfunction or stop work?

[@vanceduke5196]

Hello, My check engine light coded P1450. The report said to replace EVAP vent control valve. Is this the same repair???

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

The part in the video is a purge valve/vapor management valve. It is not a vent valve. What report are you speaking of? Did you get a print out from a parts store? If so, there should have been several things listed as "possible" causes.

[@vanceduke5196]

@@BarboursAutoHelp The report was from auto zone and it says "Teplacr Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Vent control valve. So It's not the same repair. Ford just did a recall related to this. I wonder If they would cover this? Thanks for you help and quick response.

[@TreyEb3rt]

Hey bud. I have a 2018 Ford focus. Where could I order an OEM part or at least a pretty good one. Thank you.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I'd give Rockauto.com a try. Usually they have OE parts at a good price. I'd go with the Motorcraft brand if they have it.

[@miowacity]

So why do they include a new bracket with this device. I did the same, removed the bracket and just slid the canister on the old one.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

They just do. I'm not sure why. The existing metal bracket isn't going to break so I just reuse them. It's an easier swap that way.

[@miowacity]

@BarboursAutoHelp So it took four days but the check engine light went out. So this fix solved my problem. Thanks again for the video. You really helped out.

[@rick4001]

great video

[@youwish3439]

I changed mine fuel gauge stays on full and i can’t pump gas in wit out clicking

[@BakeO94]

How much should this repair cost

[@semirjemill]

How much does his part cost?

[@samuelzarate1882]

very good video and good explanation

[@coryward2882]

Would the repair be the same on a 2013 ford transit connect? Same motor and tranny.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

I'm not 100% on that. But, you can always pop the hood and see.

[@alkampe6484]

Thank you!

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

You're welcome!

[@FlumpW0bbler]

Thanks!!

[@JeremiahWicker-tx9yw]

😊

[@dogman75]

You cant just remove the purge without removing the end of the pipes..

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Is that a question?

[@ronmotis3716]

Great detail to disconnect both ends of the hose. YOU SEEM TO FORET THE VALVE ITSELF! No images of the EVAP SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT anywhere in your video. Very disappointing.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Again, as mentioned in my other response to your other post, please view the vidieo at the 3:06 mark. I'm disconnecting the electrical connector to the Evap canister purge valve at that point. Again, perhaps this is not what you are looking for. But, the valve shown in the video at the 3:06 mark is the Evap canister purge valve. I've changed bucket loads of them.... I know.

[@tomjohnson4922]

I have to admit this looks nothing like the set-up on my 2018 Focus

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Is your 2028 Focus equipped with a 2.0L?

[@tomjohnson4922]

@@BarboursAutoHelp I think so... but after seeing it completely taken out I found it. Looks quite easy to actually replace which is surprising.

[@Matt-tt2br]

Lol , of all the videos addressing this, motor is out

[@ronmotis3716]

What you point to here is not the EVAP VALVE solenoid. It never gets mentioned in your video. Just disconnect both hose ends and reconnect them. That is all you show. You leave us all hanging.

[@BarboursAutoHelp]

Well....The part I showed int the video is the Evap canister purge valve. If you look at the video at the 3:06 mark you will see me disconnecting the electrical connector that connects to the solenoid. I'm not sure if you where looking for another solenoid or what. There is a vent valve. But, this video is not about replacing that. Is that what you are looking for?

[@BC-ms3zs]

Thanks!
