Hey Scott, thanks a bunch for posting this. I have a 2009 Mustang and couldn't find anything on this damn valve! Amazingly the F150 and the Mustang share a lot of the same parts... in pretty much the same locations. Got the old one out easy enough, but getting the new one installed required taking the canister out completely. Car's running good though. PEACE!
I had the same problem, no information, or the wrong information. Spent quite a while just searching online before I actually found where the dang thing was located after searching all over the truck. I have posted quite a few videos but this one seems to generate a lot of positive comments. Glad I could help. :)
Your welcome. I also found it frustrating trying to figure out what was wrong with my truck and how to fix it. I couldn't find anything on UA-cam either.
Alot of people think it's the purge valve when they see gas mileage change and smell of gas , I've just changed mines as well which was under my car next to gas tank .
On my F150 it was easy to twist out and then re-install the old solenoid although I did not fully remove it. I did not install the new solenoid because it turned out to be a wiring issue and I was able to return the new solenoid for a refund. Gotta love, (hate Ford's).
The only real issue with my truck was the check engine light. After I had it diagnosed the code it was throwing was for vent solenoid. It took a little while to find exactly where the solenoid was, so I posted a video on it's location.
Issues it gives are engine check light bad gas mileage and smell of gas those are the symptoms of a bad canister vent valve solenoid I've just changed mines on a 2009 honda civic exl to be exact .
There are videos on UA-cam that show what needs replaced to fix code p1451. I am not sure what code my F150 was throwing when I fixed my canister vent valve solenoid. Your's may be the one near the fuel tank.
To replace the solenoid just turn it counter clockwise, it basically screws in and out, if you purchase a new solenoid you can see the threads. I even mentioned no tools were required to replace the solenoid. Also, I never had to replace the solenoid because the wires were the problem.
@@scottliggett7073 thanks I did replace mine it runs so smooth now I'm glad I got that engine light and took it to AutoZone and were able to tell me the problem and part number... I want to thank you because I thought this part was under the rear differential... Or under the hood and because of you I was able to locate it under the seat practically THANK YOU!!!
Glad I could help. I must have spent 2 or 3 hours looking for answers on UA-cam. No luck. I think I found where it was located by googling an exploded view of the canister vent, then googling the location. Very annoyed by the time I figured out where it was located, also after purchasing the solenoid I discovered it was the wires. At that point out of pure frustration I decided to make a video of exactly where it was to save someone the same headache I had to deal with.
Thanks. My Expedition had the same broken wire. Much appreciated😊

Thank you! There is pretty much nothing on youtube about this.

Very helpful I replaced the purge valve and then I realized it was the vapor canister valve..
Alot of people think it's the purge valve when they see gas mileage change and smell of gas , I've just changed mines as well which was under my car next to gas tank .
Great video I need check if this might be my problem I have 2010 f150
I already replaced vapor canister valve under the hood
Thank you for your video
No, it didn't get damaged.......it's bad FORD wiring. This is a known issue and it's all over the internet.
Been fighting to get the new one twisted in. Such an easy task yet a bitch! Anyone have any tricks?

Im having this problem right now. Haven’t found any tricks or answers so here’s to hoping 🤞🏻
Having it right now as well. Have you found any tricks yet
What issues were you having before?
The only real issue with my truck was the check engine light. After I had it diagnosed the code it was throwing was for vent solenoid. It took a little while to find exactly where the solenoid was, so I posted a video on it's location.
It's call Canister vent valve solenoid sir it's part of the charcoal canister .
Issues it gives are engine check light bad gas mileage and smell of gas those are the symptoms of a bad canister vent valve solenoid I've just changed mines on a 2009 honda civic exl to be exact .
Having some vent code on my 2000 ford E150 van has 4.6 engine code p1451
There are videos on UA-cam that show what needs replaced to fix code p1451. I am not sure what code my F150 was throwing when I fixed my canister vent valve solenoid. Your's may be the one near the fuel tank.
How did you get the solenoid out, after I unplugged it I couldn’t take it out, i have a 2010 f150
Sorry I didn't catch your question sooner. It just twist out. If you purchased a new solenoid you can see the threads.
He never showed us how to replace it he just told us where it's at
