2000 Ford Taurus Canister Purge Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair a Canister Purge Valve on 2000 Ford Taurus?

  A: A service or repair of the canister purge valve requires initial draining of the cooling system up to a certain level. The heater water hose must be removed first before proceeding to remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) return tube followed by EVAP canister purge outlet tube and the vacuum tube from the EVAP canister purge valve. Users must use caution due to the high flammability of the mixtures while this process occurs because smoking or using open flames poses risks of injury to oneself. The technician must disconnect the EVAP canister purge valve electrical connector before removing the valve by uninstalling its two nuts. The installation follows the reversal of the removal steps and the system requires a leakage check. The repair verification drive cycle for evaporative emissions should be executed to confirm system performance.
