Purge solenoid location - '97 Expedition Sign In

Hi all,

My Expedition (1997, 4.6L V8 Triton) needs its purge solenoid canister swapped, but lacking a repair manual, I can't find the durn thing. I already know that the answer is going to be so ridiculously simple that I'll smack my forehead and go "duh" - but what the heck, if ya don't ask ya won't learn. Smile

Much appreciated.

George

Are you talking about the solenoid, management valve or the cannister itself? The solenoid and valve are located in front of the passenger side mounted to the firewall. The cannister is located under the rear of the vehicle behind the fuel tank.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

way2old,

I was referring to the canister itself - thanks! The printout the guy at the Ford dealership gave me showed the canister behind the driver's-side headlight - think he got me mixed up with someone who had a truck.

Anyway, it isn't throwing a code anymore. Most appreciated. Cool
