Vapor Canister Purge Valve!!

JonSHO said:
Plot thickens. I finally went into my local Ford dealer and gave them the VIN, and was told the purge valve for the 2010 SHO is AA5Z-9G271-C for $154. Searched online, no photos of this part exist anywhere (description is "HOSE - CONNECTING"). I'm guessing though that this is the correct part but why the hell it would cost 5x more than the 2013 version? I'm going to order the one that resembles mine for $36 and see what happens. That DG1Z-9G271-B price must be a mistake. It seems to be the same part, connecting hose (without mention of the damn purge valve in the middle).

The DG1Z-9G271B which i ordered came as a complete (assembly) with the valve and connectors. Z
 
I might just take the valve out and use that if the hose connectors are different. Hopefully it'll work. Fingers crossed!
 
Here is my original valve and yours for comparison,hope it helps any. BTW ignore the BOV next to it. LOL. Z

So, to conclude my addendum to this thread, after replacing the doohickey (long day...:P) and also the air filter, cleared the code, and it didn't come back, passed smog yesterday. Good to go.

The top hose (nearest firewall) did not fit so I had to use the old one. Bottom hose did fit so I used the new one. (referring to the Tasca replacement). 

$55 total cost with air filter. Vs $300+ at the Ford dealer. Thanks a bunch guys for this thread.

 
Awesome sauce!  These codes can be really annoying to put to rest.  Thanks Z for the assist :thumb:
 
Thanks for this! I had been getting code P0456 for a while of and on, took to dealer a while back and they diagnosed it and wanted over $300 to fix. At least they didn't charge me for a diagnosis, since the just replaced the long block... Took the quote home and ordered the part number from Rock Auto, which was none of these listed and when it came in, I did a reverse search and find. It was the valve on the canister under the rear of the car. Still get the code now and then, especially when it sits on hot days.
Just looked under the hood and those pics match what i have! I was having issues finding the right part for my 2011 Flex EB too. I will order this part and see if that fixes it.
 
That's great to hear this thread is benefiting many members!  :)
It looks like the FLEX has the same exact part number as mine. Z
FYI the solenoid is a complete plug and play kit(unit) which consists of the Solenoid and Hose connectors.
VENT CONTROL SOLENOID - FORD (8G1Z-9F945-A)  54.74 ea.

This is the one I put on my Flex last fall. Easy to change, once I found it.

I ordered the one from tasca parts listed here, also got a small body trim part I needed.
Thanks again

Part came in today. Upon quick visual inspection, all looked great. Pulled old one off and snaked the new one in. Didn't fit the rear port. Pulled out and compared to original. Rear tube on stock is bigger and has different size connector on end. Front side fit on port, but had about an inch extra tube and a very slightly different bend, so it doesn't sit super pretty. The rear tube has a quick connect at bother ends so swapped out to stock tube. Valve is the exact same, so hopefully that is the part that is bad. Front tube is molded onto the valve so it had to stay.

I have a 2013+pp mine was replaced under warranty,  bought used 35,500 miles, surged, stalled......fine since replacement. Not sure why it failed.
 
Hey folks - 2011 SHO here... got a P0455 and P0457. Tried the tips from the Ford mechanic video on YouTube... did the fuel fill area compressed air cleaning, the funnel abuse, and the wipe-down. Cleared codes, came back relatively quickly.

Ordered the part from Rock Auto, and lo and behold it's the wrong one, as clearly identified in this thread. Not sure if that Dorman 911-281 exists somewhere on the car, but it's definitely not under the hood from what I can tell.

So now that I popped the engine cover and found the little bugger which all have graciously posted pictures of, any tips on removing the hoses? I'll likely be ordering the part from Tasca - but some are saying hoses are too long/too short, so I want to ensure I don't mangle them while removing in case they need to be reused.

Thanks.
 
The correct part number should be DG1Z9G271B .
I would always disconnect the harness power connector prior to removal.

To remove the connector (gently) push the connector inwards so the other side of the connector will come loose and pop out. Z
I found using a stubby flathead screw-driver to be ideal.

FYI -Don't be a Gorilla while handling these vapor lines while instead using extra precaution is advised.
Best of luck and keep us updated.  Z

Hey jchaase, did the new VCP valve part no. DG1Z9G271B work with removing the codes you were receiving?  I'm constantly getting the P0455 and P0457 codes. 
 
Thanks ZSHO for this post!  I ordered the part from Tasca and it fit perfectly.  It's been about a month now and no more check engine light or "Check Fuel Fill Inlet" message.

I just wanted to circle back around and say that I recently bought this part from RockAuto, swapped it out in like 10 minutes, cleared the error and it hasn't come back. Before when I'd clear the error it'd come back after driving just a few minutes. So I guess it had gone bad, even though the test seemed to indicate otherwise. Oh well, cheap fix! Thanks again!
