[QUOTE="POJ Irving, post: 983713, member: 62362"] Kmcogar, About 3 weeks ago I had the same code P0445. But before that I had the P0442 which I fixed,if you do a search on the site you will see the update. Anyways, thankfully I was able to fix this one as well, it turned out that the purge valve, located just before the driver's side wheel arch, just under the battery was not operating properly. The valve it seems had stuck/ block and there was no flow. Remember the code is for Large leak or no flow. Since I could not detect any fuel fumes like I did with P0442, my thought was that it had to be the no-flow situation. I did check the hoses on the canister but ruled that out because of the lack of fuel fumes so I went with replacing the purge valve.The new one is about $100+ depending on who you get it from. It so happened I had a spare one from the time I was trying to resolve the P0442. I have read on other ford forum sites where guys have cleaned them and they work but I don't know how effective it will be. This is my two cents, I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
