Section 03-13: Evaporative Emissions 1995 Town Car, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Evaporative Emission Canister Fuel vapor emitted through the evaporative emission valve (9B593) is stored in two evaporative emissions canisters (EVAP canister) (9D653) . I think you should have 2 engine vacuum lines, one for each canister.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Evaporative Emission Tube Shut Off Valve The evaporative emission tube shut off valve (9G332) is located in-line between the evaporative emission valve (9B593) and the evaporative emissions canister (EVAP canister) (9D653) . The evaporative emission tube shut off valve control valve is mounted on the fuel tank (9002) by an integral bracket. The evaporative emission tube shut off valve closes the flow path from the evaporative emission valve to the evaporative emissions canister during refueling to prevent overfilling of the fuel tank .

1. Visually inspect the exterior of the canister for damage, and replace as necessary.
   
2. Label and disconnect all vacuum and vapor lines.
   
3. Inspect the lines for damage, and replace as necessary.
   
4. Inspect the canister for damage, and replace as necessary.
   
5. Pinch the fresh air vent hose.
   
6. Blow air in Port A and check that it flows freely out of Port E .
   
7. If air does not flow as specified, the canister may be defective.

Hope helps.

Which code specifically? Do not assume you need a new solenoid. Our recommendation will depend on the specific code and some troubleshooting results. I usually recommend checking over all the EVAP vacuum lines and the gas cap too whenever there is a purge valve code. Check the vacuum lines at the cannister in the left rear bumper. I will paste info on the purge solenoid below.

Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid

Description & Operation
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP) regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it reaches a specified temperature and the time delay ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles (energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10 times per second, depending upon operating conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operating condition.
Removal & Installation
The duty cycle evaporative (EVAP) canister purge solenoid is located in the engine compartment near the brake master cylinder.

1. Disconnect electrical connector at solenoid.
2. Disconnect vacuum lines at solenoid.
3. Lift solenoid slot from mounting bracket for Removal & Installation.

To Install:

1. Position solenoid slot to mounting bracket.
2. Connect vacuum lines to solenoid. Be sure vacuum lines are firmly connected and not leaking or damaged. If leaking, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set with certain emission packages.
3. Connect electrical connector to solenoid.

please explain in plain queens english as to what this valve is or what it does please ,never heard of this before,is it measuring the amount of evaporation of fuel in the inlet manifold?? the evaporation of the fuel in the tank ??
