Also, does anyone know the part number of the new valve? This is mine.

Take it in for the recall and tell them that your gas gauge is reading incorrectly and has stalled before at 1/4 tank , you will 100% get a new canister purge valve and new programming for the PCM for sure.


and if the tank is sucked upwards more than 1 inch from the steel straps , you will get a new tank and fuel pump also

Mind sharing the PDF ? Thanks.

 

Well I would prefer to not go to the dealer if I don't have to. What I really want to do is if the evap Purge valve located under the hood near the air box is the part in question for the recall? If so, what's the new part number? I've replaced this part once before and it's easy, I'll do it again if it's a new part number.

Yes it's the same part, but from what you said about the stalling , it sounds like your fuel tank may be deformed

Is that what causes the stalling? I looked under the car and there is no gaps between the tank and brace as far as I can tell.

it's because the pump sits in a higher spot in the middle when the tank is damaged (due to the deformation)

from what I can pull from OASIS for the recall information, I show the part number for the canister purge valves we are installing for the repairs is BV6Z-9D289-R

Perfect. I just ordered one on Amazon. Thank you!

Also, what is this part in relation to all of this?

We remove them from the vehicle and "pour" them, if any liquid at all it gets replaced

Where is that located? Do you by chance know the part number?

Even if you replace it, part of the recall is reprogramming the PCM to operate the valve more effectively and to throw a code when it is sticking.

 

Is it computer controlled? I thought the sensor was just there to tell the computer if it's not working, not to actually make it function.

I have to replace the rear sway bar this weekend so I'll be able to really see the fuel tank and if there is any deformation.

Do you know if yours is a PZEV or not?

I don't think so.

This is what the service manager told me today when I picked it up after having the recall work done. However, it wouldn't be the first time one of these guys was full of crap.

Helps when you work at Ford [emoji41]

I haven't got a recall notice and the Ford website says it hasn't been implemented yet. Seems like they could just update the software right now.

 

What engine do you have in your Focus

the most recent recall is for the canister that is attached with a line just above and next to the fuel tank. this canister gets full of fuel not allowing the vapors to evaporate and therefore causes the plastic fuel tank to collapse. it has nothing to do with the vacuum line under the hood.

 

The recall is not for a defect in the canister but rather for the valve that opens to purge the canister of fuel vapors. As such, it is called the canister purge valve or CPV and it is indeed under the hood.

 

Great info guys, Jburks, the PCm reprogram is important I think because if your purge valve fails, at least it should throw a code right away, right now you may not know until it actually does damage to fuel tank, etc and then eventually throws a few codes which by that time, it might be too late to avoid damaged emissions parts and tank.
