2009+ Ford Canister Purge Valves Multiple Problems

[@recipeswithfi]

Thank you so much for doing this video!!! The dealer wanted over $400 to replace this part and I was able to do it in 20 minutes for $26 all because of you!!

[@stringerbell1702]

$400.00😬OMG

[@pedroandrade970]

How many times have you changed it . I changed it once three Months ago and now it's making a sound like broken

[@recipeswithfi]

@@pedroandrade970 luckily I only had to replace it once. It was replaced once before I owned the car that I know of.

[@kennetheady1347]

😮 dealership wanted over $400 for that. To me that's no different than theft and I hate thieves.

[@roblewis5636]

I just wanted to say thank you. I was getting all sorts of weird codes (o2 sensor stuck lean, evap leaks, etc) on a 2010 Fusion and we couldn't get the car to pass emissions. I used your troubleshooting methods in this video and found that the valve was in fact stuck open. I ordered a new valve from amazon, replaced the part, reset all systems (unplugged battery for ten minutes), and drove the car around until the evap test was performed. It's been over 400 miles now and I haven't seen the code come back. Best part - the car has passed emissions! Your videos saved me a trip to the dealership and about $600. Thanks!!!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Rob Lewis Nice!

[@Shampew]

Dude, thank you so much. I already paid 2 local mechanics to try and figure this out for me, and they were stumped. Told me it was probably my capless gas intake, and Ford would have to replace it for me ($$$$$$$). Found your vid, tested my old one with my finger and it was totally busted. Bought the part for $25 and fixed it myself. Thank you!!

[@michellefuoco3141]

So I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I am pretty frustrated about constantly getting ripped off by dealers for small issues like this. Not that i would have known it was a small issue until I watched your video. So I do not know how to change my oil or even my tire, but your video was very clear that I was about to replace this in my 2010 Ford Escape and it works great again. So thank you very much, you did a fantastic job!

[@themasterjinn]

I know the feeling. When we bought our 2009 Merc.Mariner we constantly got the P0144a trouble code and after 5 trips back to the dealer and some $1500+ later... a friend "fixed" the problem.... replace part. DONE!

[@rockthecashba]

Thanks for posting this. My F-150 died the other day and I found this video ( I have followed you for a long time). I brought it into the dealer and they found a P0456 code with this valve failing to open up on command. They replaced the valve and now I notice it idle's much smoother now. I really appreciate these videos.

[@CurtisKelehar]

I realize this is an old video, but thank you very much for making it! I Googled what my 2012 Mustang was doing and came across your video. Went out to the car, pulled the connector & line off, started the car, and sure enough, it was sucking my finger in. Replaced the valve and filled up and the Mustang started with no hesitation. Like others have mentioned, it idles better now and seems more responsive to throttle input after a fill up. Thanks again!

[@aaronkressig8455]

2010 Fusion 2.5L Had a P1295 code going on a short day trip and notice my mileage was going down going down on the ride back home with the check engine light on. Ran the code and looked it up on the internet and found this. Did the check and of course its stuck open. Thanks for the info. a lot cheaper to do it myself versus paying a shop or dealer that would just start throwing parts at it at untold amounts of money.

[@joannes2618]

Thank you very much for posting this video. I have googled and googled and watched many videos but finally came across yours today and I finally found where my purge valve is located. All videos I came across before for my 2011 Ford Escape 24 valve 3.0 V6 always had the valve in the wrong place. Thanks to your video I was able to find it by just looking all over the engine to finally locate it. I unplugged the wire and hose and tested the way you showed and my finger gets sucked in. Now I don't have to pay a bunch of money to a shop to run a check on my EVAP system.

[@ThinkFreely2012]

Thanks for this video. It helped me diagnose and fix my brothers 2009 F150 4.6l. It was giving P1450, P0130 and P0150 codes, and stalling while braking, and semi-rough idle. Runs like a champ now!

[@Andrewszm]

I appreciate this guy. You can hear he talks with confidence. He knows what he’s talking about

[@bigthinkinguy]

Thank you! Because of your post I was able to troubleshoot and repair this exact problem. I went to the local O'Reilly's and they found the engine code was P0455. A quick browse thru a forum led me to suspect this valve, but then I used your super simple troubleshooting tip and was able to definitively diagnose the problem and replace the valve. $47 including tax and a couple of enjoyable hours (I made my daughter do the work and ask for the part at O'Reilly's). Thank's again.

[@mikeswain5096]

Another testimonial. 2013 F150 XLT. Started with vacuum relieving when adding fuel at or below a quarter of a tank. Fuel gauge was dropping from quarter of a tank to empty randomly then resetting after restart. 40 bucks and problem solved! Also fully aware that I was pulling a vacuum on my gas tank and could have imploded it. This helped with more than a nuisance issue. My vehicle is safe again! Thank you

[@spencer6764]

I so appreciate you 👍 our Ford dealer told my wife yesterday 12/7/24 that it was going to be 600.00 to fix the purge valve. It's a good thing I wasn't there and I may still give them a piece of my mind.

[@gmoney5660]

Great information, I was extremely frustrated in the beginning when my daughters escape was having all of these problems. This video saved me a lot of stress, what a easy fix. I cannot thank you enough, you have saved me a ton of time and money! Thank you!!!!!! Now I have to figure out the steering problems, what a nightmare!

[@Movieman1965]

What steering problems? Don't tell me it sometimes gets difficult to steer? Or when you start it the power steering doesn't work and you can't turn the wheel without muscling it? Why do I ask? Because it happened to my 2013 Ford Explorer XLT V6. Sometimes it would not let turn the steering wheel when I would start the car. So, I would turn it off and restart. Then it would work. But, little by little restarting became a requirement. Eventually, it stopped working altogether. The rack and pinion electric assist quit working!!! Well, believe it or not, you still can drive the vehicle but you will be having to use muscle to turn the wheel because all the friction from the tires. I drove it like that for a month calling different dealers to replace the steering system. Eventually I found a dealer to do this for $2,000 with warranty on the rack and pinion. It's been working fine ever since. Unfortunately, my particular model and year is not covered under the recall. Ford has a recall for this problem. Look it up on their website. They will replace it for free IF your VIN is included in the recall. Good luck!

[@omegafounder]

THANK YOU!!! I have a 2012 Ford Explorer. Lately, was having issues starting my car after I would fill up with gas. Took it local mechanic, they ran diagnostics: P2196 & P2198. However, they had no clue how to fix it... and charged me to replace my spark plugs instead. :( Needless to say, problem still occurred and check engine light would still appear. I was hesitant to take it back to them. Thus, googled this issue and THANK GOD I stumbled upon your video! Went to local autozone and bought purge valve for $29.99... replaced it myself (w/ help from your video) and just like that... PROBLEM SOLVED!!! :)

[@missyosborn4812]

Old thread but our 2012 seems to be doing the same things as you describe. We've been practicing thinking o2 sensors or plugs/wires but we're crossing our fingers that your solution works. Thanks for sharing your issues and resolve or I would still be searching.

[@maximusdecimus2350]

I have a 2013 Ford F150 5.0 with a returning p0451 and this video along with a previous one you made regarding the cap-less fuel system helped me off to a good start with troubleshooting the problem rather then throwing parts at it. I for one appreciate you sharing your knowledge and time in everything you post, even if its not related to my model of vehicle, I still find them to be very informative and entertaining, keep up the GREAT work!

[@shadad07]

so was the Purge Valve the cause of the issue for P0451 for your case? i have already changed the pressure sensor and the door cap

[@copelandrobinson]

Bump have the same problem ☝️

[@copelandrobinson]

I haven’t gotten to the ftp sensor yet someone told me you can just drop the spare tire to get to it, but I’m pretty sure you gotta drop the drive shaft then the tank? Just going to trouble shoot with volt meter hopefully just a frayed or cut wire somewhere. You gotta buy the whole tube fuel line bc it’s inline of the hoses on mine. 2010 f-150 4.6l XL

[@maximusdecimus2350]

It was not@@shadad07 Here is what I have completed with no change: Ford OEM replacement for Purge Solenoid and connecting orifice tube Cleaned out my capless fuel cover Purchased a code scanner to clear codes Looked to see if tank is encaved Unfortunately I have the light come on every now and again, I believe it is just a short or sensor under the bed and may have to pull the bed off or something. TBH it has not been a priority as I am WFH and haven't needed to get inspection cause I hardly use the vehicle. Saying that, I still want it fixed so will update this post if I find a solution, I will be working on my truck this weekend doing other stuff and may just knock that out as well.

[@kayemmbee]

Thanks for this great video! A comment in another video tipped me off that my P0455 code problem might be the purge valve. I followed your instructions and was able to change it for under $30, which seems to have fixed the problem. Your video gave me the confidence I needed to try the purge valve replacement, which was very simple. Just needed to know it was likely to be the solution.

[@colinhinton3979]

This guy has saved me thousands. Thank you so much for what you post.

[@OldBuddy1970]

Took less than a week to get it from Amazon (CA$40). 5 min to replace it. 2 min to clear the code. Thanks for the video.

[@KennethBishop]

Thanks so much. This info resolved my issue. Everything you stated was happening to my 2010 Escape. I'd fill up the tank at the station and my Escape didn't want to start. It would occasionally stall out while idling or worst, it would shut off in a sharp turn or when I was coasting into a stop. The car would give off fumes every now and then as well. Once this problem occurs, one is better off replacing the canister as well. I know its expensive ($200-$250), but mine was saturated with gas from the faulty valve. Ford should implement an immediate recall for this part because it is clearly defective and poses a danger to the public.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+Kenneth Bishop Some are bad enough to saturate the canister but most just need the valve. Glad you got it fixed!

[@apersonontheinternet8006]

My 2014 F150 just popped this code. I've noticed my MPG has been declining, this looks like it is likely my issue. Thank you so much for making this video (10 years ago, lol)!

[@Jitom7]

Update: I figured it out. The ground wire from pcm to vent solenoid was no good. As soon as I ran a wire and tried it it worked and the cel light went out with no codes anymore. Can't believe the ford dealership certified techs couldn't figure it out. I may go back and demand a refund. I'm no mechanic and I figured it out. Perhaps a KZbin video about the fuel evap system in its entirety and the most common faults for it would be huge help to folks. Thanks.

[@goysb4jays566]

Update to what? What issue caused you to find the bad ground?

Other people had you blowing in it with your mouth, no thank you. 30 minute job from opening the hope getting the part, installing it and closing the hood. Cheap part which is a good and not good thing. Besides this issue, 71k miles and no issues. Thank you again!

My 2016 Transit had problems starting (only after fueling). Saw your video and replaced the purge valve. Instant fix. You saved me $$$ and 2 days being out of work! Thank you for the video!!!

That is the same problem I am having with my 2010 Ford Fusion. It only struggles to start after I get gas at the gas station.

[@Batman11680]

Just had this issue on my 2013 ford raptor at 170k miles. 30$ part and 10 min install now doesnt idle rough or stall out as if it was out of gas like it did before the replacement. Glad this was the solution and not some expensive dealership fix.

[@davidconde6766]

Hi Brian, amazing channel and a treasure trove of information. My '09 Sport Trac 4x2 4.0 SOHC (April 09) has the old evap purge valve. No matter, it failed at about 185000 miles. Easy replacement of course. So i am guessing some of the earlier 09s may have the older style valve anyway? Perhaps it doesn't matter since there are not too many of those left. Keep up the good work!

[@BGJ710]

I had 2196 and 2198 on my 5.0 f150. Cleaned up purge valve with we 40 and some compressed air. It’s working great. So far. Codes gone fuel trims and o2s normal

Cleaned the mass air flow sensor and they went away but the P1450 showed up. Just now checked the purge valve as you recommended and, sure enough, sucking a vacuum. Will replace tomorrow and reset code. Thanks!!!!

Sweeet good find!

[@rulegm]

I had just had work done on the truck for some injector codes just last week. Mechanic charged me $475 to replace it, hand cleaned the other injectors (not pressure cleaned, as he said that does more bad than good), and replaced all of the spark plugs. Fair price with a 4 month warranty on the work. I noticed I was burning through gas rather quickly soon after. I always monitor my gas mileage and just couldn't believe how fast I was burning fuel. I knew something was wrong. When the engine light came on again today (exactly one week after the injector repairs), I hoped it wasn't something new and that I could just take it back to the mechanic to check it out. Turns out it was this P0455 code. I did research and stumbled onto this video. I replaced the valve and reset the engine code. It's gone now, so I hope it stays gone and that my fuel mileage returns to normal This repair took me a whopping 10 minutes to do. thank you FordTechMakuloco!

[@gabeulrickson2496]

At exactly 3:10 you show the 2 vacuum hoses next to the purge valve, does the one in the top left move around freely in the intake or is it supposed to be fixed and not freely move. Trying to trace down a vacuum leak on my 09 2.5 limited and that part where that hose connects is able to freely spin back and forth inside (hose is not loose the actual piece that the hose connects to moves around)

I have a ODBII reader coming from Amazon tomorrow so im going to get to the bottom of this one way or the other. 2012 escape seemed to drive home normal after the bump, no change in how it ran.

[@angileques]

Hi Brian. this is happening to me again. Replaced cpv beginning of last year after finding your channel and watching your other video on this issue. In the fall, check engine light came on. Went to auto zone and had them read code. They said it was a P0455 but that it was OK to drive. Gas cap light has been coming off and on too (capless tank, Ford 09, 4 cylinder, escape ). This past week I've noticed some hesitation and minor tremor, usually when coming to a stop or low speed like when turning corner. Last weekend my dad said that he smelled some high fumes when I started it. I've been driving this past week with my windows down and noticed the gasoline-ish type smell as well. Well, from nightmare of when this first happened last year as I was exiting the turnpike in rush hour traffic and it stalled out, which resulted in the initial replacement, I'm not taking any chances! Ordered another part off of Amazon tonight! Is this normal for it to fail in so short a time? I ordered the genuine Ford part when I replaced it last year too. Thanks for all that you do to help us out here my friend. You are a blessed man!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+FordTechMakuloco, Good to know! Thanks again Brian! ♡

[@spooln30]

Have a customer coming in for a P144a cel and the first thing I thought was the purge valve. Super common on Fords with this style valve. Have you noticed a lot of canister failures associated with purge valve failures? There's a TSB for emission CELs and the two tests are checking the canisters for fuel inside of them, then there's the purge testing? But I would think a faulty purge valve could pull the fuel inside of the canister thus making the testing of the canister pointless. Not sure if raw fuel inside the canister will cause any damage to canister or would it just dry itself out after the necessary repairs are done.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+30spooln I have never seen a saturated canister is all the purge valves I have changed. They almost never fail full open.

[@spooln30]

What never fail fully opened? Purge valves? Just working on the vehicle now and the valve is definitely bad. Vacuum being pulled through it when it's disconnected.

I have a 2012 Explorer 3.5L that threw both banks rich over the weekend when the cold snap hit the DFW area. The light went away on Monday. Just replaced the valve, and the engine even SOUNDS like it's running better. When I pulled it off, it reeked of raw fuel.

Great video. Very informative. I skimmed the comments first. But I have a 2013 Ford F150 V6. My check engine light came on and ran the code to get a P0451.

I had this problem on my 2010 Taurus SHO . The car would stall out and soon wouldn't start. I was told it was because it was flooded with fuel. And the culprit allegedly was continuing to fill up the gas tank after the first click of the gas pump. Not sure how true the last part was but they replaced the purge valve and the car ran fine. Since then I've had fuel injectors stuck open and a failed water pump. I'm kinda regretting buying this car.

I had bought a 13 F150 with the 5.0 and its had a rough since day one with no codes. The dealership claimed it was normal for the 5.0 to idle a little rough. It almost feels like the truck has a slight misfire though. A small repair shop did hook up a computer recently and said the psi on all cylinders had a vast and erratic fluctuation. They mentioned it could be a bad pressure regulator fuel pump and said the trucks computer was trying to compensate for the loss. Any thoughts? The only symptom is rough idle - idk about fuel economy or accleration issues because it's been like this since I bought it. *Temp doesn't seem to matter for the issue to be present.

Thank you very much for the great video. This solved my problem and saved a big headache with my 2013 Explorer. Your video efforts are much appreciated!

[@jeremypitts1420]

Hey brother,,, can a bad purge valve on 2.5 duratec 2010 Ford Escape cause a crank no start? Or should I look more at the PVC valve? I can't seem to get my truck to start at all . I put some gas in from a dirty gas can and it hasn't fired since..again Crank no start. Please help me out bro!

[@rmv2332]

Mine is doing the same thing it starts and drives but it randomly shut down because of the old fuel I had im there. Im starting to put premium in hopes of cleaning the fuel injectors. Did you end up finding your problem?

[@delmer0502]

I have a question my purge valve sucks excessive air even when i remove the purge valve, it sucks air from that purge valve where you put the finger, but also from the hole where it connects from purge valve to engine, like you did in the minute 6:45 my question is that normal or ??

[@ontoneo]

Thanks for the video, ive noticed on my Ranger the smell of gas after i drive it, but i can detect no leaks or drips, a friend suggested it might be the purge valve. Do you have any suggestions?

[@sardogskipper]

What a great video so my question would be p2198 and p1450 if they're both showing an evap purge solenoid valve and an O2 sensor, My problem is that after I don't use my vehicle for a day it will just crank but will not fire Will this fix that issue??

[@danielhowiesr.2593]

I've got a 2002 4.2L V-6 and it has that same purge valve. Must have started using them before 2009.

[@tobiashartl2875]

Nice video ! Thx for that good description! Got that problem at my mustang v6 2015 s550 … Easy fix

[@TerdisLesezchuan]

This fixed my P0455 code on my 2013 Explorer XLT 3.5.

[@JamesZ-py1xl]

Some common issues are hard starting after filling up at a gas station, and stuttering while trying to accelerate and a check engine light will come on and then go away.

[@bespinoza66]

Is there supposed to be no air at all when you check if it's bad? Or can it only be a little bit?

[@Jitom7]

Sir, I have a 2008 mercury mariner that has 27k miles but obviously out of warranty. Fails emission inspection test for 2 codes of same number PO446. I have pulled the vent solenoid and put 12v to it and the plunger actuates. All hoses and connections look beautiful. I read to check voltage for vent solenoid and when I do I get 12.2 volts with no key in ignition as long as I have a REALLY good ground other wise I get off readings that jump around. With key on I get 11.8v again only if I have a really good ground by pushing my meter black end really hard into good metal of vehicle. I didn't think there should be voltage unless the key was on but there is. Anyways I'm trying to figure out what my issue is so I can resolve it. Took it to a ford dealer and they spent 2hrs with no answer and billed 230 bucks. I wasn't going to let them go on for hours and hours with no diagnosis in sight. I wanted to follow the wiring back to the pcm but it goes up into the vehicle probably under the interior carpet. Do u have any thoughts or suggestions for this. I was going to check the purge valve next and maybe to look at the pcm to see if I can find the wire at that point but unsure what to look for or how to test it. If I reset the code with a scan tool one code comes back immediately but the check engine light stays out as long as I leave it running. As soon as I turn it off and restart the cel comes right back on. Could the pcm be bad? Could the wiring be compromised? Could the vent solenoid be bad even though it work fine when I direct apply 12v? This has been a huge pain in the butt.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Jitom7 I have seen these have corrosion under the wire insulation at the connector that connects to the vent solenoid itself, I would peel it back and check for corrosion. It is very simple to test idk why some ford dealers are like this. All you have to do is put a noid light on it and do a pcm self test and they would know right away.

[@garrettjames3720]

Awesome video! This solved the problem my escape was having! Thanks!

[@dorin2042]

Nice video as always!! Do you know what else it could be that throws the same p1450 because I tested my purge valve like you did and unplugged it will not pull vacuum or leak. 2016 explorer

[@kapenamax5713]

I have a 2015 Fiesta that, when I first bought it, would stumble or stall completely after a fill-up. Sent it in to the dealership and they confirmed the problem and replaced the evap purge valve only. 6-8 months later, the car is beginning to stumble again after refueling (this time, the stumbling is less consistent and the car itself has not stalled completely as it did with the first valve). Suggestions? Have you heard of two evap valves failing in a single vehicle? No codes or lights on the dash.

[@kyleparrish8737]

My 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid has a evap code P2450. Could this be the same thing? I didn't see a list of codes in the description you kept referencing.

[@cbrrebates]

No

[@tims6246]

great info. question - i have 2019 f150 3.3 with just 18 k miles with an evap code . do these valves fail at low miles?

[@itsthebrod]

I'm having a hell of a time locating the purge valve solenoid on my 2010 3.0L V6 Fusion. The Haynes manual says it's in the "lower right rear corner of the engine compartment, below lower cowl cover". Do I have to completely remove the upper and lower cowl covers to access it? Thanks!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

No yours should be on the intake inside of the curve behind the throttle body

[@itsthebrod]

+FordTechMakuloco D'oh, wish I saw this before I had removed the wipers, wiper motor, upper and lower cowl only to find the solenoid smack dab in the middle of the engine. I turned a 5-minute job into an hour one. :) Thanks, and good to know I can't trust the Haynes manual! Anyway, got it replaced and filled up with gas and had a nice start afterwards. Check engine light is gone too. Thanks for your videos!

[@martystevens3969]

itsthebrod The right side of the engine is on the passenger side.

[@m.7n6]

Mine might have issue on my 08 super duty with 5.4 3v 4x4, and at the pump gas sprays out of filler neck pump clicks off constantly while pumping gas. I'm gonna change my valve out

[@subtoshayde6619]

Thanks so much for this!! My '12 Escape was throwing out a P2196 (o2 sensor) and P1450, so I did the 'finger' test and sure enough, the purge valve wasn't working. Replaced it and its now working fine. I've cleared the codes and am hoping that fixing the P1450 issue will also resolve my P2196 issue. Do you know if it will? I'll find out in the next day or two.

[@LaffyGaffy69]

Hey once again thanks for all your videos My 98 Grand Marquis PCV valve I think it's fine but the part number is EV-98B and I can't find one anywhere they discontinued them do you have any recommendations on an aftermarket one or a different motorcraft part number one?

[@Pbear74]

Is there any preference for replacement part? Is it best to use a ford motorcraft part or would any replacement part work?

[@calebweaver3628]

Hi, I'm new to the channel. I had a Evap very small leak code on my 2013 Taurus. I was about to drop a fair bit for a smoke test and instead fixed my car for $25. Thank you thank you!!

[@abduncan4]

Had this problem on my '10 Escape. Replaced the valve, works great.

[@rstra3]

where is this located on the 2010 escape? i cannot find it.

[@jeremysquires7204]

very front near battery side

[@dannyherrera2774]

My 2010 Ford Fusion se takes a while to start after pumping gas do you think this must be the reason for it ?

[@jasejakes9868]

It's worth a try only 40$

[@1dlb]

I got a P2196 on a 2010 Ford Fusion ... going to check this valve out ..

[@christophergrunzinger6757]

Did this fix your problem? I have the same code on a 2012 Ford Fusion 2.5L

[@1dlb]

I cleared the code and its never returned .. but if it does this is the first thing I'm going to do

[@RC-Heli835]

I have a 2000 Windstar with a p1450. I can't blow through it but it won't hold a vacuum test. I was wondering what the purpose of the 1/8 inch vacuum line is? This model has a 3/8 line to the intake, a 3/8 line to the charcoal filter and a 1/8 line tied into the vacuum system on the rear of the intake.

[@KNACPUREROCK]

Hello there, thanx for the vid, I have a 2013 f150 3.7 v6 flex fuel, I've replaced the purge valve twice, and still have the p0455 code, so is that mean that booth of the valves are defective..?

[@allenscott228]

Could this also cause a random misfire, P0306, at low idle on a 2015 F150 5.0?

[@LA-TEEZI]

FordTechMakuloco - I have a 2015 F-150 with 5.0L V8. Idles rough and has stalled while parked a few times. Sure sounds like the purge valve, I’m going to check it out. My question to you though is if it is losing engine vacuum through the purge valve, could that cause the 4x4 hubs to slightly try to engage? I’m getting a slight noise from the front end that sounds like a bad bearing almost, but the bearings have recently been changed. Noise is more noticeable on dry roads, and hums a bit more with slight movements of the steering wheel left and right. Wondering if that’s a possibility or if you have come across that issue? Thanks so much brother, you have no idea how much everyone appreciates what you do on here and how thorough you are. God bless

[@LA-TEEZI]

UPDATE: changed the purge valve and spark plugs, still idles rough at a stop and almost stalls... what next? Lol 2015 F150 5.0L

[@dannydoughty2223]

Try replacing the check valve for the vacuum hubs. Part# yg360 from orielys. I had the same problem with the same year f150. Fixed it.
