MTDave06 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I have a 2015 Ford Fusion with the 2.0L Ecoboost w/ AWD and 28,750 miles. Last week my check engine light came on, so I had the code looked at and got a P144A.After some light research that tells me the Canister Purge Valve/Solenoid is a very common culprit after Ford changed their design to 1 piece across all models after 2009. It will stick open and dump 40% extra gas down the drain OR stick closed and kill the vehicle while running.SO here's the deal - The vehicle is for my Fiancee which she uses for work, our newborn and our 2 daughters. I know its under warranty, but they cannot get me in for almost a week at my local dealer. So if at all possible id like to try to fix it myself. from 2009-2013 its fairly easily located in the engine bay.WHERE IS IT LOCATED? All of my research gives me ZERO information on where to find it. 6 hours looking in the engine bay, and the ford part website image for the specific part shows near the gas tank. Can't see it anywhere. I can't keep having it die on them and leave work to get them, or vice versa if we switch vehicles. I have the new valve and I'd love to just fix it myself if at all possible.Any ideas or help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It is a hose assembly. It's not super easy to get to. It's to the right side of engine bay as looking at the engine from the front. The hose goes pretty far down to intake. The clips can be a bugger to disengage. If it's under warranty, I highly recommend letting a dealer do it. Since it's stalling and a safety issue. You could always tell the dealer and I'm sure someone could accommodate you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainLion Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Mine threw that code at about 45,000 miles. I cleared it, it came back. Went away at about 50,000. Hasn't come back yet at 93,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstutz101 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Video on purge valve location.... Not hard to replace, the lower hose connection is a little tight.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp2388 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I had this happen on my Ti at about 70k miles. Took it in and got it covered under the Premium extended warranty minus the $100 deductible. Took a day to repair it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 very nicely outlined. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
