Canister Purge Valve issues?


MTDave06

Recommended Posts

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?

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.
