2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Canister Purge Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How Can You Service and Repair the Canister Purge Valve on 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: Start the Canister Purge Valve service procedure by taking off the battery tray then disconnecting both tubes and electrical connector. The tubes connected to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge valve require removal after disconnecting them safely since the presence of highly flammable mixtures poses a risk of personal injury from ignition sources. The bolt securing the EVAP canister purge valve bracket along with the valve needs to be removed after disconnecting all the components. You should first disconnect the vacuum line from the EVAP canister purge valve before removing the valve as the next step. After reversing the steps used for removal proceed with testing the evaporative emissions system for leaks. The evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle must be conducted for validating system functionality.
