2005 Ford Mustang Vapor Canister Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2005 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service and repair work on the evaporative emission control canister should start with the car set in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. After disconnecting the battery ground cable you will minimize the danger of electrical spark creation that could lead to fuel vapor ignition. Closeness to fuel components should be avoided due to their content of highly flammable mixtures along with the prohibition of smoking devices and personal electronic devices. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector before pulling away both couplings related to the EVAP canister vapor tube and fuel vapor control tube assembly valve. The vapor tube pin-type retainer should be released from the EVAP canister brackets before taking out the frame-mounted vapor tube by removing its retainer clip. The installation requires 9 Nm (80 lb-in) torque when tightening the two EVAP canister retaining nuts and bolts. Perform the installation procedure in reverse order to put back the EVAP canister. Complete the vehicle checks with an evaporative emission system leak test followed by running the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle to achieve proper system operation.
