Ford Taurus Canister Purge Valve

The function of the Ford Taurus Canister Purge Valve involves the control of fuel vapors that come from the charcoal canister to the intake for burning rather than emissions. As the engine runs, the Canister Purge Valve opens, allowing manifold vacuum to pull fresh air through activated charcoal, where trapped hydrocarbons join the normal air fuel mix, lowering smog forming emissions. In earlier Ford systems, the Canister Purge Valve was operated through vacuum. Later OBD II Taurus cars employed a computer commanded Canister Purge Valve in tandem with a vent solenoid and a fuel tank pressure sensor that enabled the engine module to seal the system, pull vacuum, and test for leaks. If the expected vacuum does not appear, the warning lamp illuminates, although a loose fuel cap frequently triggers the malfunction. A Canister Purge Valve capable of sticking can increase emissions and cause idle issues, so every Ford driver should check it is moving freely to keep their Taurus clean. This valve has been the mainstay of evaporative controls in every Ford Taurus generation. It is compact and durable.

We provide a wide range of Ford Taurus Canister Purge Valve at the optimal prices. If you need Ford Taurus Canister Purge Valve, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your doorstep with a fast delivery service.
