Skeptical that I will be able to get the crapbox in around my appointments and honestly I do not feel safe driving it as I wonder what next. I swear this vehicle has been jinxed from the day it was ordered new but this is just the final kicker as I have many medical appointments this week I cannot miss and need to return as my mother is having surgery Thursday. I also topped the tank (since it is tiny!) before leaving and as had been suggested to clear the code by the service advisors before jsut popped the filler in and out a few times to no avail. Because I needed to get home for a medical appointment it has had about 500km of driving now and over 8 start cycles since the *** decided to do this. Well this time after removing the code reader and starting up the CEL was still on. It frequently does this since it was new after I fill with gas and it tends to turn off after a few restarts and driving cycles. Is your newer Ford vehicle stalling / hesitating after fuel fill ups- Buzzing / Squealing noises coming from the right rear- Check Engine Light with code. I was under the car last week looking at everything, and thought I might be able to replace the valves without removing too much, but didn't want to start messing with anything if there is the possibility it's under the federal emissions warranty.Once again my *** escape is throwing the CEL and giving the code of P0451. At least in Michigan, I can get my used parts back (barring a core-charge) for free and I would know where to look if this is a common issue. Just not looking forward to the final total from smoking and repair that tomorrow will bring. A stuck open fuel filler cap valve, a kinked or plugged fuel filler hose, or a blocked charcoal canister can cause it. Still haven't been charged anything from the dealer, which has been nice. The P1450 code is also caused when the fuel filler cap cannot vent properly. Taking it in again tonight for a smoke test to be done tomorrow. Also, DW filled the car, and it still had an issue starting. They cleaned the filler cap and cleared the code before I got the car back for this past weekend, and the CEL came on again. Once they got rolling on that, they couldn't find an issue with the vacuum. I had 5 recalls that had to be performed, so their diagnostic time was delayed. I took it into the dealer, and they looked it over. Thanks Ford.Īs of now, I don't know anything. That kinda makes it hard to check your vacuum. Someone told me that even if there is one in the engine bay, you have to take off the intake to get to it. The workshop manual is very vague and Tasca parts or motorcraft doesnt even list one, so I'm wondering if this new "system" even has a traditional purge valve to check your vacuum. I'm still looking for a purge valve in the engine bay. For those of you with workshop manuals or experience please chime in. I stuck my iphone up in there last night to get a picture. I have looked under the rear end and sure enough, its buried way deep in there. This was a simple job I was hoping to do myself, but unfortunately, it cannot be done without a lift and an extended transmission jack, plus hours of teardown, brake work, etc." In the past evap canisters were often located under the hood and when they were located under the vehicle, they were accessible. This involves disconnecting and removing the rear brakes, suspension, drivetrain, and any wiring from the rear of the car. The problem is that Ford in its infinite wisdom decided to locate the evap box, filter, and vent solenoid in a place under the car that can only be reached by removing the entire rear subframe. On the escape there is actually a replaceable pre-filter for the canister, and you can usually take these things apart and clean them out. You can literally replace the entire system in this car for a couple hundred dollars in parts. Usually this is caused by a bad purge solenoid, or simply a clogged/dirty evap canister or hoses. Its actually a common issue, and is a known issue for Fords. Now in most vehicles, including older escapes, this isn't a big deal. It throws code P1450, which indicates excessive vacuum in the evaporative system. Once it starts, it runs fine and starts and stops fine. "Whenever you put gas in it, the car starts and them immediately stalls. I wanted to get this out there so that the awareness level is started.
