Hi thank you for this video! Do you know, can I remove the purge valve from the tubing and only replace the purge valve? I want to avoid having to dig inside to replace all the vacuums and wondered if I can just switch the valves without the tubes?

[@IHaveN0Clue]

THANK YOU. After having this problem for a long time and knowing what it was I finally have the money to fix it, and now that I have the part this was the absolute best video I have seen on it. This needs to be the first video on KZbin when you look this up

I'm just up the road in daytona area!

[@Atlridesharejay]

This was by far the best of these videos, thanks! That bottom one is the hardest to remove, but stick with it. I took the others out, removed the sensor as shown here, then you can rotate the bottom one enough so you can push the clips and get a 90 degree pick under the top and pull it up. Pops right out then. When goign back in, recommend a little lube on that one. Start it, then use whatever you have to get some leverage. I used a wrecking bar to get behind it and push it until I could snap the locking ring. On the purge valve, there's a piece of rubber where it mounts to the bracket. Don't forget to take that out of the old assembly to securely mount it on the bracket. Total time for a complete DIY'er: 1 hour.

[@THEDriverMod_]

Great insight and tips! Thank you

[@zacherysaltzgiber8437]

Thank you so much for reviewing the symptoms. Nothing worse than a video about replacing a part than when you know it could be multiple different things but the symptoms in this case make it very clear.

[@torrowtwister91]

Very helpful! I ended up just cutting the hoses to the two lower connections so I could spin them around so I could undo the clips easier.

[@THEDriverMod_]

That's a good idea! Glad you were able to get it done!

Local mechanics told me it was the Fuel Pump Module in tank, $1500 later and it repeated exact symptoms described in this video. I found the solution and thanks to your instruction, will be doing this myself.

I almost had this happen to me but I'm a natural negotiator and made that guy understand he wasn't just quoting just anyone. I didn't pay till he showed me it passed diagnostics

[@jcrbama]

Haha; you went to great lengths at around 2:30 to avoid saying that it sounds like your car is farting from the fuel filler. I'm happy to do that for you, if it doesn't want to start after fill up and then sounds like that car is farting, you have this issue. Also, that one clip down in the engine by the alternator is a huge pain to get at. If this happens again, I'll have a mechanic fix it just to avoid that grief. My best advice for getting that one off is to cut the hose, because you have to rotate the attachment to more easily get the tab pulled. It's nearly impossible with the full hose and fittings attached. To get it back on, get it in place and then take a very long and wide flat screwdriver and leverage it against the alternator housing to push the fitting fully on. It's brutal to try and do it with your hands alone.

[@THEDriverMod_]

I did because that's what it sounds like lol all good helpful tips for others watching this video!

[@starkruzen]

I just bought the valve and changed it out and all is fine. Didn't have to mess with all the hoses. Thanks for the video.

[@hectorvalenzuela8817]

I’m about to buy only the valve, I’m a little concerned about the hose; did you have to cut the hose? Or you just pulled it out and put the new one in?

[@starkruzen]

@@hectorvalenzuela8817

[@starkruzen]

I just took the new valve to my local Auto Parts store and got a hose to fit the valve. It was a little bigger, but it worked. Good luck. I hear the cause is due to overfilling the gas tank. Do not "top-off" your tank. Once the gas nozzle shuts off that's good.

[@adamlee8714]

Had this issue and let it go for too long. Now I'm freaking with other engine issues. Thanks for helping me replace this.

[@THEDriverMod_]

Sorry to hear that, what's the car doing? Maybe I can help

[@edgar_investor]

Had all 3 symptoms. The codes I pulled were P0496- Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow P2196- O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich Bank 1 Sensor 1 My 2019 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0 ecoboost called for part # HG9Z9D289D I saw a few comments on a Fusion forum saying you don't need to replace the hose with the yellow color head (save yourself the trouble!) I just snipped the zip ties and changed the 2 main hoses connected to the purge valve. The only tool I used was a small flat head screw driver. It took a total of 10 minutes to remove and replace the hoses. Once I reset the codes and started the car it sounded like it purred instead of the chugging idle sound it made for a couple of weeks now. If you don't have a scanner tool to reset the code just disconnect your negative terminal on the battery for about 5-10 minutes and reconnect. I just changed this today so I will update if the code reappears. Thanks for this video!

[@davidbigley789]

thanks for the video my man! for that bottom connector, I didn't have a 90 degree pick that long but after struggling with a short 90 pick, I borrowed a more hook style pick of the same size and got it right away! took care of codes p2196, p1450, and p0456 and of course stopped the stalling after refueling on my mother in laws 2015 fusion 2.0!

[@THEDriverMod_]

You're welcome! Appreciate the comment feedback!

[@RaisingAwesome]

Great video! Glad you didn't do those edits you were saying as it helped to know how much of a struggle the yellow clip was to be. I ended up using hand pruners to cuts the old hose assembly out of the way. Since I could only get one hand in there on the yellow one, I bent the ear back and used a really long pair of needle nose pliers to twist the ear completely off. I could then push the yellow clip out with the picker one handed. I noticed for the new one, they changed the clip design, so hopefully the next time will be easier in 10 years.

[@THEDriverMod_]

Went to the local Auto Store and had the code evaluated, found out the purge valve was a possible cause of the code. The symptoms you mentioned fit my situation exactly. Found your video while at the Auto Store, saw how easy this was, and $87 and an hour later the problem is solved and I have a new purge valve! Thanks!

@Ruben Laugon mini pry bar. It was from a set I got from Harbor Freight. Nothing too big. I can’t remember if I had the clip open or closed when I snapped it on. I would play it safe and open it then close it when it’s on all the way and give it a tug to make sure it’s on good.

So, ignorant question here, but... if it's the purge valve itself that's bad can you simply replace the purge valve without replacing all the tubing/connections? Is there even a way to disconnect the tubing from the valve itself? I'm guessing the routed tubing plays an important role in the function of the valve, but, since it's just conducting flow is it absolutely necessary to remove it?

[@THEDriverMod_]

I believe it's possible but at the time the part was not available separately

Nice video. Most that others made were atrocious. 🤣 I would comment though the P144A code, being an evap code, is recorded as a permanent code and cannot be cleared by a scan tool. The PCM will eventually run its vac test and clear itself if it passes. So whether the cause is the purge valve sticking open, a bad electrical connection or a vac hose leak, all will set the same P144A DTC. Those connectors are a pain for sure. Thanks!

have a P0456 on my 2017 Ford Fusion . "Evaporative emission small leak detected" I was wondering if replacing the purge value well fix my issue? Because Ford is charging 450 to do it when the part is like 50$ and I think I can do it myself .

[@THEDriverMod_]

Highly likely that is the issue.

Hey I have a 2018 fusion se, the check engine light came on and the code was p0456. Every time I’m done pumping gas, the car struggles to turn on and won’t turn on usually after the 2nd or 3rd time, could this be related to the code I got?

[@THEDriverMod_]

Yes. This procedure will fix the issue

Do you have to put the vehicle in maintenance mode before you start pulling the fuel purge valve apart?

Maintenance mode?

Very helpful. thank you

You're welcome. Thank you for the feedback

[@tannerwilkerson8852]

I tried. Got everything but the last yellow connector and gave up after 2 hours. I just couldn’t get enough access :(

[@THEDriverMod_]

It definitely takes patience, finesse and dare I say, strategy???

[@isabelvelasquez7182]

My car does this sound after driving it for a couple minutes and I see my dashboard and the car seems to be trying to pull energy to stay on. I’ve checked it with a scanner and I get the code p2196. I thought that was the problem and got that part changed and it still did the noise and the part on the dashboard where one needle also shakes and my car shakes a little as well

[@The_jose716]

Hi my car has the same problem. Did you fix yours?

[@Bagthatbawse]

I replaced the valve.. the engine light went off but the car is stopping while I drive & won’t go in reverse after it stops itself. I couldn’t make it half way around the block without having to cut the car off & back on

[@THEDriverMod_]

Sounds like something didn't get reconnected or there is another issue

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

Question pls. On the left rear under of my ford fusion 2017 when I take a long trip there is white smog coming from like a valve after I parked but it only last few minutes. It is not from the exhaust , it is from a small valve on the left rear under side. What is it ?

[@dyehrdbuff]

Where did you get that long pick tool? Can’t find it anywhere

[@THEDriverMod_]

Snap on

[@YoungMonkei]

Can I just replace the connector on the 1.5L it’s the part that’s failing on mine

[@THEDriverMod_]

You can do what ever you want, this video pertains to the 2.0 ecoboost engines

[@Wfeath3r]

Great video! Do you have the part number for the assembly? Ford Parts keeps saying the only purge valve for my '17 Titanium (2.0 Eco) is the 9F945, which does not seem to be it...In fact it seems to say that the part shown here is not correct for my vehicle , yet I have it in the same spot and routing as your video ... At a loss for sure.

[@THEDriverMod_]

I unfortunately do not have the OEM part number. I apologize. They might call it something else, purge valve, tank vent valve, canister purge valve.... it's usually one of those 3.

[@michaelpalmieri539]

Not sure if this helps because this is for a 3rd party version, but doorman makes this part and the number is 911-775. You can get it on amazon for about $60, but it'll be around $100 if you go to an auto parts store. Hope this helps!

[@THEDriverMod_]

@@michaelpalmieri539 awesome info!

[@leoacevedo7125]

just curious, if this part is faulty can you feel air blowing from the bottom connections ? i have a rough idle that gets worse when i turn the a/c on. the thing is my car doesnt show any engine light but when i connect it to my blue driver and see the live feed, purge valve monitor shows yellow indicator rather than a green checkmark

[@THEDriverMod_]

Might be carbon build up on the intake valves

[@nfmsWombat]

Replacement part name or number please. Gotta replace mine!
