The EVAP canister purge solonoid on a 1997 Taurus 3.0L OHV is mounted on the firewall on the passenger side between the strut tower and the engine computer multi-plug. Note: you will see the green EVAP test cap on the plastic line that connects to the canister purge solonoid.
Remove the engine sight shield. Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) line from the canister purge solenoid, perform the following: * Push the large size white retainer portion in. * Push down, while pulling up slightly in order the disengage the tube. Disconnect the EVAP canister purge solenoid electrical connector Remove the EVAP canister purge solenoid bolt Remove the EVAP canister purge solenoid and insulator Reinstall in reverse order....... toque spec is 91 inch lbs
most likely in the evap canister.
Low purge flow- faultu evap valve or canister.
Trouble code P0496 means: EVAP Canister Purge System High Purge Flow
It means you have an Evap purge control leak in the EVAP system. Basically when you have gasoline in a car there are a lot of excess fumes, these fumes are routed through the EVAP system of the car, through a charcoal canister, and returned back to your gas tank as liquid fuel. A leaking charcoal canister, Evap Purge solenoid, PCV lines or PCV elbows can cause this. Also a leaking gas cap can cause this. I would recommend replacing the gas cap first. if that does not do it, check all the connections to the EVAP canister *located in the engine by the firewall*. If there are any leaks, change the elbows or lines. IF the problem still exists you most likely need a new charcoal canister or Canister purge valve solenoid.
You will find the evap purge valve on the passenger side firewall between the A/C drier and the heater hoses. There are small vacuum lines and some wires attached to it. The canister is inside the left rear fender, behind the tire.
The Evaporative Emission Control System monitors the fuel vapor flow between the engine intake manifold and the EVAP canister. The system failure occurs when a leak or blockage between the intake manifold, the EVAP canister purge valve and the EVAP canister is detected by the PCM. Code P1443 Possible Causes: - Pinched, blocked or plugged fuel vapor tubes/hoses (except between fuel tank and EVAP canister) - Damaged EVAP canister - Disconnected, cracked or cut fuel vapor tubes/hoses (except between fuel tank and EVAP canister) - Damaged EVAP canister purge valve

Behind the rear driverside tire,there is a flap with two screws you have to take out.
