    I've got a Check Engine Light

    ...Disconnected the front connections (as others suggested I used the front green clip for practice bc there is one on the back of the purge valve that you will also need to disconnect). Undid the four bolts - these are for two brackets, not just one. Struggled thru getting the back part...

    I've got a Check Engine Light

    I am replacing the purge valve and cannot seem to get the electrical plug to come off. This is the last piece since all of the green tab (3) parts were able to be removed. Thanks

    Check Engine Light during vacation, please help

    If the car is running fine it could be as simple as the purge valve or any number of other things that won’t stop your trip. If it’s running like shit that’s a different story. Hit a parts store so they can scan it and find out what it is…if it’s minor finish your trip and take care of it when...

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Nice to see the actual high mileage guys (100K+), which shows the longevity of the STs, Going on 55K on my 20' ST. Recall on 360 done, purge valve replaced. No major issues (knock on wood). Currently a daily driver, averaging 250-300 miles a week.

    When filling the tank up

    I'm glad you brought that to surface. I always at least round off to the next dollar, sometimes more. I'll stop doing that.

    When filling the tank up

    Okay. Good to know. This is the first time I've over filled it. Just found it bizarre that it was capped at 275 these last two times. Thanks

    When filling the tank up

    It will never be consistent. Anything could have effected the range of the tank. Also, never fill the tank up, or continue to click the gas pump after it stops the first time, great way to make your Purge Valve fail on these cars.

    When filling the tank up

    It constantly recalculates…the real issue is overfilling it like you said you’re doing will trash the purge valve and you’ll be changing that soon if you continue.

    Looking for 500hp, what’s the best plan 2023 ST 3000 miles

    Yeah, one downside is he is busy. Sounds like you did plenty of logging for the tune. He may be focused on the engine more than trans. He may have a different set of PIDs to log for transmission. I would reach out to him and specifically mention the shifting and see if he wants to log something...

    ...and intake and he sent a revised tune after about a week of sending in a log. Going to do a log after I bring the car to the dealer for purge valve CEL. One thing that is slow is getting a response from Adam. I am sure he is a busy guy, but a week for a return log or days for an email reply...

    Yeah it’s Evap purge valve, did it myself. A bit of a pain but possible. Fix the code and issue.

    CEL Came on - Tuning Related Question

    You’ll be perfectly fine without the tune. Those mods don’t require a tune just help power with a tune.

    CEL Came on - Tuning Related Question

    Today a CEL came on, codes are P0456 / P0496, which appear to be the purge valve. I am thinking of bringing it to the dealer to get it done quick instead of a shop I normally go to that is about 25-30 miles away. Guessing they will flash the car, so my question is, with my mods, if the car is...

    Multiple error codes...

    ...engine light recently came on. The car is difficult to start after fueling. I refuled it while it was running and I think I broke the purge valve. I am getting the following error codes: P0496 P2196 The dealr wants at least $1000.00 to fix it. Does that sound normal? I can see the part...

    Another update. ST still smokes after sitting. I keep buying Explorers because I really like them but this is getting nuts.

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    Hey guys, thought I’d join the “club” here. Had the same issue. Showed a CEL. Have about 30k for reference. Took to dealer. Had a faulty purge valve. Had it replaced. Hoping that was the source of the issue. oil catch can was recommended. They can install at the dealer.
