All Others

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2002 Lincoln Town Car, 2002 Lincoln Navigator, 2002 Lincoln LS, 2002 Lincoln Continental, and 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. 1) Check For Visual Cause Of Excessive Fuel Tank Vacuum

    Check for kinks or bends in fuel vapor hoses and tubes. Inspect EVAP canister inlet port, canister vent solenoid, EVAP dust separator (if equipped) or outlet hose for contamination or foreign material. Check canister vent solenoid for blockage or contamination. If any conditions are present, repair, replace or clean as necessary and go to next step. If no conditions are present, go to next step.

  2. 2) Check For Blockage Between EVAP Test Port & EVAP Canister Vent Solenoid

    Disconnect and plug EVAP return tube at intake manifold. Connect Evaporative Emissions System Leak Tester (134-00056) to EVAP test port. Pressurize system to 14 in. H2 O (3.48 kPa). If pressure drops immediately, go to next step. If pressure does not drop immediately, perform HISSING SOUND WHEN REMOVING FUEL CAP symptom test under SYSTEM TESTS (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION) in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.

  3. 3) Check For Blockage Between Fuel Filler Pipe & Fuel Vapor "T" Fitting

    Connect evaporative emissions system leak tester to fuel filler pipe. Pressurize EVAP system to 14 in. H2 O (3.48 kPa). If pressure drops immediately, go to next step. If pressure does not drop immediately, perform HISSING SOUND WHEN REMOVING FUEL CAP symptom test under SYSTEM TESTS (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION) in appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.

  4. 4) Check Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor PID Without Pressure Applied

    Disconnect EVAP canister outlet tube from EVAP canister. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using scan tool, access PCM FTP V PID from PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. Record FTP V PID value. If FTP V PID is 2.40-2.80 volts, go to next step. If FTP V PID is not as specified, go to TEST HX, step 21) under SYSTEM TESTS.

  5. 5) Check for Stuck Open EVAP Canister Purge Valve Condition At Idle

    Reconnect EVAP canister outlet tube. Remove plug from EVAP return tube and reconnect tube to intake manifold. Ensure fuel filler cap is properly installed. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Select PCM FTP V and EVAPPDC PIDs from PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. Start engine and allow to idle. When EVAPPDC PID is zero, FTP V PID should be less than 2.40 volts. If PCM PID values are as specified, replace EVAP canister purge valve. Perform EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM LEAK TEST . If EVAP system passes leak test, perform EVAPORATIVE EMISSION REPAIR VERIFICATION DRIVE CYCLE . If PCM PID values are not as specified, perform EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM LEAK TEST . If EVAP system passes leak test, perform EVAPORATIVE EMISSION REPAIR VERIFICATION DRIVE CYCLE .
