1loudgt needs one, his went bad and the car reeks of gas when running, and worse when it is shut off and parked in the garage.

If someone has one we will pay for it, or if they don't need one we can pay shipping.

Def don't need a briddle pos one either. Car only has 60k on it.

Purge solenoid is right above the canister. The vacuum line going from the manifold goes into the solenoid.

If you're talking about me, no. It was my egr vacuum solenoid on the shock tower.

The purge may not be working or the canister has gas in it which will happen if the tank being constantly overfilled. The EVAP system wont work as it should. Also, check the rubber hose from the purge to the intake. Weather and engine heat will eventually dry it out. Same goes for the vapor line to and from the tank.

Doesnt sound that expensive to me. I got a brand new Ford purge valve off ebay for about the same last year. But a new canister can run anywhere from $70-$120, usually.
