2004 Ford Escape Canister Purge Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the evaporative emission canister purge valve on 2004 Ford Escape?

  A: Start the servicing process for the evaporative emission canister purge valve by avoiding all sources of smoking and open flames near fuel components because highly flammable mixtures are present. The battery ground cable should be disconnected for safety reasons to prevent electrical sparks from igniting fuel vapor. During service of the EVAP canister purge valve start by disconnecting all components such as the electrical connector and vacuum tube and EVAP canister outlet tube and EVAP return tube. Eliminate the two nuts that lock the EVAP canister purge valve once its connections are established. Apply MERPOL (R) O-Ring Seal Lubricant which fulfills Ford specification ESE-M99B144-B or an equivalent solution on all O-ring seals before installation. The valve installation requires reversing dropped steps alongside an inspection and drive cycle to validate correct valve performance.
