    Drive Cycle Issues

    Just to let everyone know, I took the car into Ford and according to them, only Ford can smoke their vehicles because there is a solenoid that needs to be closed in order to close the EVAP system. Only ford has the computer software to manually shut this solenoid. Turns out it was the filler...

    Filler Neck/EVAP Leak

    Unfortunatley, I think the filler neck is all one piece so the entire thing will have to be replaced... it's a $200 part from Ford. Unless there is something inside of the filler neck assembly that I am missing?

    Filler Neck/EVAP Leak

    Bear with me here: the EVAP system is a closed system. When we smoked the system, smoke was coming out of the overfill tube under the car (the tube that drains gasoline when the tank is over filled). Now, if I am correct, that tube should not be venting smoke (back to the closed system) so...

    Filler Neck/EVAP Leak

    Thanks, I have gotten this code every time I clear the ECU. I had a different mechanic look at it and he said he has never seen this before... there is like a black "bladder" almost in the trunk where the filler neck exits the vehicle. He thinks there is something wrong in there because smoke...

    Filler Neck/EVAP Leak

    I am getting a code for a P455 LARGE EVAP LEAK. I had the car smoked and it was pouring out of the gas cap. I replaced the gas cap with a Motorcraft cap and had it pressure tested and it passed. My mechanic is telling me I need a new filler neck? I have never heard of this. It isn't cracked...

    Drive Cycle Issues

    This is why I am here... it doesn't make sense to me. I was there when he did it and the gas cap was brand new. Smoke just came pouring out of the filler neck area... He pressure tested the cap and it was fine. I can't see any cracks and there is no leak in the grommet at the tank... I'm...

    Drive Cycle Issues

    The station employees are actually good friends and are working with me to pass the car. Anywho, I think I know the problem... I was getting a P0457 code (loose fuel cap) so I replaced the fuel cap (not with a Motorcraft one like I should have.) Now I am getting a P0455 (EVAP leak detected.)...

    Drive Cycle Issues

    So I have to replace my O2 sensors without knowing if they are bad?

    Drive Cycle Issues

    If the O2 sensors were defective, wouldn't they still complete the drive cycle and then just trigger the CEL? I changed my spark plugs. There are no leaks that I can see. According to the OBDII drive cycle web page that everyone refers to 10 mins of stop and go driving should trigger the...

    Drive Cycle Issues

    I am trying to pass a NYS inspection, the car has been returned to stock, however, I cannot complete the drive cycle to clear the P1000 code. The EVAP and Catalyst codes will not register. I have drive so many hundreds of miles and followed the OBDII Ford drive cycle to a tee. I have no idea...
