The evap emission control system related to the P1443 code in a Ford Aerostar is typically located in the engine compartment, near the fuel tank. It includes components such as the evaporative canister, purge valve, and associated hoses. These parts work together to manage fuel vapors and prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere. If you're troubleshooting this code, checking these components for damage or leaks is essential.
