    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...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST engine dies as soon as I put in gear

    This is not just ST, happened in my ST-Line too. First was unable set cruise control. Next got gas and boom no crank no start. Could with the key fob but as soon as put in gear engine stopped. As I was getting it on the tow, all sorts of errors and no start at all

    Replaced purge valve.

    ...time soon. I don't exactly know how that is plumbed by I would suspect that there is pressure on that valve a lot. Maybe boost pressure. I replaced the purge valve once on my Taurus Interceptor 3.5l Ecoboost and it was a simple 15 minute swap out. I wish this new to me Interceptor was as easy.

    Replaced purge valve.

    Hello, Yesterday I replaced the purge valve on my truck and what a pain in the a$$! Ford couldn't give about 3 more inches of wire to the solenoid so that made it very difficult to ger the connector unclipped as well as the green spring clip for the hose. I got it but I'm very tall and had to...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST engine dies as soon as I put in gear

    Same issue here, but has nothing to do with topping off tank as others have mentioned. Backed it out of the garage, parked and remote started to warm up. Went out later and started but as soon as I put it in anything other than park it dies. 3100 miles and on its way to the dealer on a flatbed.

    2025 Ford Explorer ST engine dies as soon as I put in gear

    ...I got a P161B code. Had it towed to the dealer and he said they didn't see that code. A few days later, they called and said it was purge valve issue. Anyone else experience this issue? I am thinking about having a spare one handy in case this happens again. This is the first time in 40...

    Sputtering after filling up

    I used to continue filling up to the next dollar amount at the pump which messed up my MKZ's purge valve. By the time I drove home from the gas station the sputtering/stalling would stop and wouldn't happen again until the next fillup, but I recall it being intermittent and temperature related too.

    Fuel Inlet Issue

    ...but squeezed the plastic clip enough so the I could get it out. Someone on here may know how to open this clip a better way. Do an 'Evap Purge Valve' search on here and on YouTube (be specific to 2020-2024 ST). I combined all great information to see the light. Yes, I also tried cleaning my...

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    The dealer wanted $600, so I bought the part at Napa for about $70 and replaced it myself. You can feel the electrical connector in the back, just kind of pinch it and push back. As someone else has mentioned, disconnect the valve at the easier location that will be towards your right and not as...

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    Thanks for posting about the DTC Code P0496 EVAP Purge Valve and the GL3Z-9B325-B Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid replacement part. Not sure I can get my big hands to the back of the Purge Valve and be stuck with an unfinished job. I assume that it is not covered under ESP or Emmissions...
