Pulling an evap code on a 96 ranger super xlt code is P1443 any suggestions on what the most likely sollution is?

Answer 1

hi, this code is a manufacture code.. it is for the pruge valve. it is located right by your battery.it has a vaccuum line coming in at the top on one side and one going out on the other side. and a electrical connector on the bottom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Unfortunately, the P1443 code doesn't point to any one specific part of the evaporative emission system. I had my 96 Ranger to a local mechanic who ran a smoke test on the system. He said it had no leaks, and recommended changing the purge valve or solenoid (the valve located in the vacuum line closest to the charcoal canister). I replaced it (it looked very rusty on the bottom) and yet the code came back. I then replaced the purge flow sensor (located next to the purge solenoid, closer to the engine) and the code has not returned since. The purge flow sensor was bad. There is supposedly another valve or sensor on top of the gas tank in this system, although I could not see it. So, the P1443 code can occur when any of the valves, flow sensor, or vacuum lines fail in the evaporative emission control system.
