Ford Escape Stalling Issue Fixed!

This Ford Escape would frequently stall when you were driving slow in a parking lot. It also had a rough idle when it would stay running. The canister purge valve was the culprit.

Thanks for the video. Going to buy the part today and replace it. Hopefully that fixes the issue on my 2012 ford escape.

I probably would have started the car and double checked the new purge valve for a leak before putting the hose on. Just for continuity of the video and show a "before and after" shot of it leaking, and not leaking.. This one can be tricky for people who don't already know to look for it, because the codes don't really tell you that this is even possible to be an issue; they should have added another trouble code to monitor this thing, oh well: job security. :)

Good to hear! Thanks!

Another good video 👍 👍 👍

Thank you!

Had an escape where if it ran for a bit and you turned it off to like go in a store, it would stall when it starts back up. Going to try this and if that doesn't work, ive also read that the fuel pump mega fuse can be the issue too

[@jonmadden9305]

Mine doing similar but I’ve replaced that valve and bunch other stuff. My LONGFT1 is running 25.0%. Could that mean fuel pump is failing? It’s also having long time first start in morning.

I usually torque my bolts a quarter turn past “that’s probably too much”

[@motivationiskey4993]

Ok so how did you confirm it was a vacuum leak and the purge valve ? I seen u put the gauge on it and say it was leaking but why do u say that? It’s supposed to pull air half the time when it’s warmed up .. I’m very confused on how you made this diagnosis?

[@chriscline5716]

How can I tell if it’s a throttle buddy problem

[@kar2nist1979]

Is this the same for the 3.0 v6?

[@graysonsjourney5420]

My mercury mariner is doing the same thing but I have no check engine lights or codes.

What’s the gel you put on before plugging the hose?

[@Tomsfoolery.]

Petroleum Jelly

Thank you for such an informative video! I have a 2010 ford escape, the car starts OK, but the engine seems choking when idling and died couple of times when idling and when hard breaking. I suspect it is purge valve issue and plan to replace myself. What else should I pay attention to? Thank you so much for your video! Help me a lot! BTW, I am not a machinist, just try to DIY to save couple of bucks.
