Jackman5000 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hello. Brought 2012 limited to ford for regular oil change. Upon re entry of vehicle, notice check engine light on (never on before). They scan and determine needs purge regulation valve. Opinions? Facts? 74,500 miles. Very regularly maintained.

akirby Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's a common problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Easy to R&R the EVAP purge valve on the 3.5L engined vehicle as well. Sits up on the firewall, near the throttle body, looks something like this: But if the solenoid is indicated, that is underneath the underbody shield (floorpan area).

Jackman5000 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Ok. Thanks for the info. I did a bit of research while waiting, and yeah, pretty common. I had noticed a very slight stutter at idle, which is now gone....might be my imagination, but I think throttle response is slightly better too. So I'm happy. I see that replacing it myself would have cost less than my 100 deductible for ESP. Lol. Oops. Oh well, an hour sitting in waiting room playing on phone is rare so no biggie. Thanks again for responses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Main thing is it got fixed, and it's on them May not necessarily have worked out DIY, so it's OK! Good luck, hope that is the last issue for some time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
