Review on Efficiently control emissions with Standard Motor Products CP416 Canister Purge Solenoid by Eric Smithlin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

P1443 - Not anymore. but the next day P1445.

As many have pointed out, this is not a solenoid but a device that tests airflow in the EVAP circuit. If you have a P1443 code on a Ford, chances are the item is either dirty/damaged/simply worn out and/or the actual purge solenoid is defective. So I swapped them both out, it took about 10 minutes and no more than a MIL (Check Engine Light). Installation was just as painless as they were easily accessible next to the rider-size right fender on my 1996 Ranger. It's a job that doesn't even require tools, although I have to admit I used pliers to pull out the vacuum lines. I posted a link to the magnet I used. Vapor adsorber purge valve Dorman 911-112
