Hi folks, while driving into work today, I noticed the check engine light came on and after doing a code scan, I discovered the following code:
P1443: Evaporative Emission Control System - Vacuum System - Purge Control Solenoid or Purge Control Valve fault
I verified that the gas cap is tight and I traced the vacuum lines from the throttle bod to the purge control valve/sensor and followed it to the purge control solenoid. I don't see any signs of tubbing damage of any kind.
After I get a chance to inspect the tubing from the gas tank to the evaporative cannister, I plan to start off with replacing the purge control valve/sensor followed by the purge control solenoid.
Has anyone had this problem before? I have heard this is a particular tough one to track down because so many different things can set off the code. Gas cap, broken vacuum lines, bad evaporative cannister, bad purge sensor, bad purge solenoid, etc.
I also did a bit of research and found the following part#s
Purge Flow Sensor Part # F57Z-14A606-BA
Purge Flow Cannister/Solenoid Part # E4ZF-9C915-AA
Can anyone confirm that those are correct for a 96 Cobra?
Thanks!
Luke
