Fuel purge valve leaking. Ford part number d2b19c987ab for whole assembly or b33tb bosch for specific valve. Ford denies this is related to emissions therefor not covered under the extended warranty for emissions parts. Everybody is calling it an emissions device that controls fumes from gas tank. Many other owners have same problem, it's very common. Code p1450 and p0456. Causes car to not turn on after filling up gas tank. For some it has stalled the car while driving and unable to start car. This part should be replaced under warranty. 2017 fiesta, 50k miles. Easy way to test is pull the tube from between the engine and firewall and if vacuum is present it's leaking. Does not require tools to disconnect. There is a green tab on the tube that you use fingers to push. Again no tools required and takes 10 seconds to do. Purge valve is suppose to be shut off by default. If air is moving through, you have a leaking valve. If you remove the whole assembly and blow on the end, it needs to not come out from other end.

Car wants to stall after getting fuel

Filed May 11, 2020 · 56,000 miles · VA

My 2017 ford fiesta has a malfunctioning canister purge valve. I am having the same exact problem for which the 2018 ford focus cars were recalled. My car is only 2 & 1/2 years old and it is stalling after I fill it up with gas. After filling up at the gas station, it will not start on the first try. It starts on the second, third, or fourth try. The check engine light is on now as well. The dealership says it is not covered by my warranty. I have 56,000 miles on it. This car needs to be recalled. They will not pay for the costly repairs due to their faulty purge control valve. The 2017 ford fiestas need to receive the same recall that the 2018 ford focus cars did. This is the same problem! (I do not know if the evap system is considered to be under powertrain or fuel/propulsion system.)

Engine light continues to come on. After adding gas to vechicle, ℂ𝕒𝕣 will stall. Sometimes takes several minutes to start. Was told by several mechanics it's the fuel system bc there is no cap, only the flap that doesn't close properly. Car has stalled while driving several times. Only 58,300 miles on vechicle. I've seen many complaints on this particular issue with this model. It is a safety issue when car stalls on highway or while driving. This has happened several times! Car always has issues starting after adding gasoline.

Vehicle engine stalls when in traffic. When I decelerate and engage the clutch (manual transmission), sometimes the engine speed will go so low, the engine stalls. It usually happens in very heavy traffic and I have to engage the clutch. This always happens when the vehicle is in motion. This happens pretty much anywhere, street, highway, freeway, drive way. It only happens when the clutch is engaged. If the car is in gear and the clutch is not engaged, it wont stall. I did take it to hemborg ford in norco, ca and they reflashed the computer, but it still is happening. Yesterday 12 aug, I was entering a roadway and a vehicle jumped in front of me. I applied both the brakes and clutch and when I tried to accelerate, the engine was stalled creating a very dangerous situation as I was already committed to entering the roadway and vehicles were approaching me from behind at a very high rate of speed.
