Ford was trying to charge me $200 for diagnostic, $200 for parts, and $200 for labor for popping a P144C which is Canister Purge Control Valve, yeah I'm gonna tackle this one on my own. I appreciate you man you stopped me from getting scammed. Money's tight for me I don't make a lot being in the military so I appreciate you doing what you can to help people who don't know a lot about cars. My 2016 Focus ST will be back on the road soon!

[@LarjFarvaable]

Great explanation of the disconnect mechanisms. Even though the new part ships with a new metal bracket, I found once the hose portion was disconnected, I could just slide the old rubber and hose assembly off and slide the new rubber and hose assembly on. No replacement of the bracket necessary (though you might want to anyway for appearance sake)

Hey Falcon I saw that there is an electrical connector that plugs into purge valve in the middle of it. Is it possible for that to go bad and be the reason for code P0443 on a 2012 Focus? Wondering if I need to test that or just go ahead and buy the Evap Purge Valve to fix P0443. Thanks for the informative video!

[@FalconsGarage]

Could it be a bad connector? ... yes I’ve seen it happen plenty of times to ford/chevy connectors. But never seen it on this sensor. But it is a possibility.

[@RyanMavilia]

@@FalconsGarage Just checked out the car today and turns out the connector's wire somehow got completely cut near the connector. Hopefully that's the only reason it isn't working lol

[@FalconsGarage]

Nice find!

[@livenotonevil8279]

Where is the vacuum monitored, that decides that this evap line has a problem? I bought a vent solenoid, but I couldn't access the one by the gas tank, so I removed the engine-side line with the clips on each end. Didn't see anything obvious, so I put it all back together. Now the engine light has cleared! What the heck did I do? And I thought the code would only clear if you hooked up the scanner.

[@FalconsGarage]

the fuel tank pressure sensor ..but you are talking about a diferent sensor .. is that the code you had?

[@zackaryblanda1167]

Would this explain my car feeling down on power after a fillup?

[@FalconsGarage]

could be also check fuel filter

[@jasonashley9853]

Could this cause a strong gas smell? I have that on my 2016 Focus. No idea yet. Seems like it's coming from under the car but I'm not sure.

I took my 2013 Focus Manual Trans to the dealership to perform recall 18S32. They replaced this part and re-flashed my PCM, and now I'm getting code P2227.

My car starts way easier with full gas tank, if it's half or 1/4 it cranks a considerably longer time than with full tank (like 2-3 seconds no matter hot or cold). It's still not bad but it annoys me a little. I have 1.6 ecoboost engine. Could it be this evap valve? No engine lights or errors.

I would check into fuel pressures ...I don't think this sensor is your issue .. but there is more testing that needs to be done,

@@FalconsGarage gotcha, I got error code P144A saying that the vapor line is restricted/blocked.

Hubby and i replaced this. He has a broke hand so i could change it easily

[@BearfootAdventuresOfficial]

I did it accordingly, but my car doesn’t seem to run very smoothly. Like I cranked it up but it making wierd airy noise. Idk of that normal at first. Maybe it’s just a me problem. Maybe I did something wrong or they’re not secure enough. Idk 😭

[@FalconsGarage]

there should be no "air sound" .. sounds like there is a leak somewhere

[@BearfootAdventuresOfficial]

@@FalconsGarage I finally fixed it! Hahaha the problem was that one of clip thing was not plugged in all the way. My car is like new. Thank you so much 🥲

I have a 2016 Ford focus st and it struggles to turn on, could this be a bad purge valve?

[@FalconsGarage]

explain struggle

[@sk8ride2897]

@@FalconsGarage Like it sounds like it's trying to turn on and it'll take a few tries to turn on. It's the sound when it first turns on but it extends, not sure if I explained that well

[@FalconsGarage]

its a little hard to understand .. but if im understanding correctly it sounds like a fuel issue

[@sk8ride2897]

@@FalconsGarage Hmm, this morning it threw me a code of P0600, idk if that helps

[@tedvela9923]

I have this issue when I let the fuel run under half and next time I fill up it cranks for about 4 seconds and then starts up, I have a 2014 Focus ST

[@ClaytonClayman]

I got this code but autozone is saying it's the evap canister vent soleniod? so which is it?

[@FalconsGarage]

In my experience is this valve... with out having somebody test them both .. that would be my best guess

[@lifewithtashabae4846]

Will it make your car cut off ?

[@FalconsGarage]

It’s not a common symptom but it can happen

My buddies car is surging real bad after a few minutes of running taking code reader tomorrow morning any advice would be great

[@FalconsGarage]

maybe a vacuum leak.. but need codes first

Pulled up the p144a code

[@FalconsGarage]

im still thinking vacum leak

[@jesusrios2380]

What causes that problem to happen in this model car ?

[@FalconsGarage]

i would say maybe a faulty piece..

[@POWERLESSbananaHEAD]

anyone know what that 3/8 tube is. mine snapped while changing out evap. it seems like a vent tube it's on the same clip as the line that goes from the air intake to the back of the engine near fire wall.

[@livenotonevil8279]

It's the tranny vent tube. Not connected to anything

[@LORDRA1DEN]

These cars suck so much and my local dealerships have refused to do the warranty work, and Ford said they don't have to.
