    They stick open and cause cel p0496 to pop up. Upon filling up the tank, it can cause the car to not want to start. It happened once to me after the cel came on and I filled up a few days later. It took me to tries to get the car to turn over. I knew that it needed to be replaced asap as I’m at...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    What exactly is the common issue with the purge valve on these? On the Focus ST, they're known to go bad, and will cause a few CELs and worst case, the fuel tank can deform. There was a recall on it. Most people just replace them periodically as preventative maintenance. Some people have even...

    Swapped out a bad purge valve at 55k on a 2020. This thing is a PITA to swap. Little to no room but with a small 90* pick it can be done in about 30ish mins.

    I JUST GOT CODE P0496

    Purge valve. It’s covered under the 8 year/80k mile emissions warranty.

    Emissions error

    I'd get a Motorcraft valve. Can order one from Tasca Parts. My experience with cheapo purge valves that i installed (not my choice) on other cars is they tend to fail again pretty early.

    Emissions error

    What other posters call warranty is not the Ford warranty but the Federal Emissions warranty. Tell your dealer about that one.

    Emissions error

    I have P0496 EVAP System High Purge Flow and P0456 EVAP System Leak (Very Small Leak). I called the dealer and they told me it was probably that evap purge valve you linked however it was not covered under warranty and they quoted me $500.

    I did. It fixed the start issue, only for the “evap leak” codes to remain.

    So did you replace the purge valve?

    New (To Me) 2020 ST-- With issues already.

    ...and I'm having the following issues: First fill-up after the dealer, car wouldn't start. Threw code P0456. I read up and replaced the Purge Valve Solenoid, which I've come to understand is a common issue. Now the car starts fine, however, the next fillup, the car decided to dump gas out into...

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    I always fill till it clicks. Changed the purge valve. I have a fenfab intake with their revision to the vacuum lines. All new vacuum lines. I’ve done it all. I still get the evap code. Or one that says evap no description. I really want to sell this car but I’m chasing this cel. I’m thinking of...

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    Did you get a OEM purge valve from ford? or one off amazon or something, I've heard the cheaper non OEM ones fail early. For the fill issue you need to vent the fumes 1st, put in the nozzle all the way wait a couple seconds then pull it out just a little then it should work without clicking off...

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    I just changed my purge valve. Cel came back. How do I clean the filler. The other issue I have is that when I go to fill up the truck it constantly clicks off if you go full throttle on the fuel nozzle. Any info.

    Starting Issue

    It’s definitely the Evap purge valve. If you’re handy, I recommend doing it yourself. Don’t go to the dealership because the labor charge is insane. I was able to change mine out and under 45 minutes and the part is about $59.00.

    Starting Issue

    Yes, sounds like your evap purge valve needs to be replaced. It’s a known issue, tricky install but definitely can do it on your own.

    PCM reflash for corrupt file?

    Well I suppose that I have more that one issue at hand here... In hindsight, I had noticed that an ABS fault had been stored in the past.. I got a CEL for the purge canister solenoid valve which I replaced about 2 months ago, but I saw the ABS issue and just cleared it not thinking anything of...
