Nope, deleting the spam is final. Yahoo sticks my craigslist replies in there all the time. prob 50/50 whether they go inbox or spam.

The P0113 is the IAT, not the MAF. Its the Intake Air Temperature sensor. I have a 96 explorer that had a lot of trouble with that. On that its a sensor after the MAF and before the intake. I'm not 100% on where it is on the ST. Its to monitor the temp of the cold air coming into the engine.

I really thought that hugely oversized rim thing was done for. The only ones I see are people desperately selling them on craigslist lol.

I just wanted to close out this thread, old as it is, with an answer. I believe it was a corrosion issue in the connector. I replaced both front hubs today, and the drivers side connector was all green inside the female half on one wire. I had the abs activate on a slow stop one day and...

So it turns out that Mass has a mulligan too! To quote: " To pass the emissions test: 2000 model year vehicles may have a maximum of two (2) ?not ready? non-continuous monitors. 2001 and newer model year vehicles may have a maximum of one (1) ?not ready? non-continuous monitor...

It's still not set. I've run around town and the highways since I reset it. All of the other monitors are OK, just left with the evap being incomplete.

Soo... just to throw myself under the bus here. I didn't get the evap purge connector all the way on when I was getting it all together. I connected it, cleared the codes and drove it around a bit today. After a bit of driving I checked and the evap monitors are not ready yet, so theres...

Not local for you, but I found this factory one up here in Mass: http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/pts/4403417114.html and an aftermarket one too: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/pts/4404081167.html

ugh... so today when I started it I got a p0443 code for there purge circuit. no idea on how it changed, but I've got tomorrow off to deal with it. I soo wish Mass's inspection gave us a mulligan on a test.

So I did so work on it today. Tested at the battery junction box and got 12v at fuse 32. Pulled the bob out and probed the wires under it and it had 12v. Uncovered the 1 to 3 splice (s111) in the harness and probed the 3 legs and found 12v on all 3. Confused, I then checked the evap purge...

We had rain and snow all day yesterday, so I never got out to crawl around. I did however manage to get the Ford workshop manual and the wiring diagram manual. So I'm a little better equipped to trace the wires, or at least now I see where they are supposed to run. I see where the line...

I'll check that out today and see what I can find. I know the vent solenoid should normally be open right? 12v will cause it to close, so am I correct that the supply of 12v is only a temporary test cycle and that a lesser voltage to leave the solenoid open is the norm?

So I probed the solenoid with 12v and it closes properly. I found 4 more compromised wires and fixed them up. I tested the red w/yellow wire for continuity at the purge valve and it has it. The purple w/ white I can't find any further up than the wire chase by the drivers door and it has...

I've got a DTC, P0446, I went to buy another canister vent solenoid and plugged it in before I realized it had a different connection to the canister on it. But it did help in one way, it didn't activate when the truck was turned on either. When I tested the voltage I only get about 2.5 volts. I...
