Code p1443 is a malfunction in the evap system. It can be a loose gas cap, a bad flow sensor/circuit, a bad evap solenoid/circuit or even a leak in the evap system. The evap system is designed to trap gas fumes escaping from your gas tank/fuel system contributing to pollution. Code 1443 can be fixed by replacing the canister purge selinoid. The cost range is from $47 to $65 if your Ford dealership will match internet pricing. The dealership is the only place to purchase the item. The location is passenger side of engine near A/C condensor. It has 2 air lines connecting at the top and a plug with 3 wires at the bottom. The size is roughly 3 inches in circumfrance, by 4 inches long. It releases air and that's why the check engine light comes on related to the emission system. Once you find the location the part takes less than 5 minutes to replace . You still will have to get the check engine light code deleted from whomever. Autozone will do it for free.
