Bigbob Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 The 2012 2.0 liter is throwing codes P144C and PO456. My research indicates it is likely a bad EVAP canister purge control valve. I found videos and photos of the 6 cylinder Edge, and tons of info on the Focus. My guess is it is beneath the air breather like on the Focus but cannot confirm. It's too bad because at 67000 miles it just received a new turbo, high pressure fuel pump, and catylitic converter. I would like to repair myself rather than taking it in again.

mike dexter Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 It is just rearward of the dip stick. Hidden by the plastic cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I just did the one on daughter's 2014 Escape 2.0L. Once you get the replacement part it should be pretty easy to locate on the right side of the engine. On the Escape I had to remove the wipers and cowl and air intake to get to it. Edge probably has a little more room. One thing to remember that isn't pointed out anywhere online that I could see is that the plastic clips work this way: you pull out the square clip on the bottom and then you push in on the curved flush button on top to release it. I spent about 2 hours prying that recessed button off 4 different clips before I figured that out. Thanks youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thanks guys. I will tear into it this weekend. I wanted to see the part before I ordered it because I believe there are at least 2 variations of it and want to order the right part the first time...

RooDay Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Wondering if you ever found where that Valve is? I have the same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
