What is this for ? is it easy to fix ?
Purge valve. It’s covered under the 8 year/80k mile emissions warranty.

Also got this code yesterday. @Silver spruce ST did you get yours fixed?

Mine worries me because the exhaust has been pretty smelly, lots of gunk buildup on the exhaust tips, and I have slow starts. I don't know what's connected of course.

not really. I had the ford performance tune for many months, but it's been back to factory for the last month.

I scheduled a service appointment for next Friday, and based on another thread it sounds like this is a common evap canister issue. I'm also going to replace my spark plugs with NGK Ruthenium, as the forum has said these are the best. I'm at 67k on what I assume are original plugs (bought the ST used at 33k miles).

I had all fixed, but selling my St and just ordered a Platinum Highlander. Retiring and want a more reliable car. To many recalls on all ford products...

Can't fault you for that one bit.

I love my ST. I did many upgrades, but ford was never ever able to fix the wind noise from driver door and my ESPwarrenty is running out due to recalls and issues. Have to say bye bye to my ST.
