Gates Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid P/N:PV404
Keep your evaporative emission system metering fuel vapor as intended with the Gates Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid, part number PV406. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2011-2017 Ford F-150, 2011-2023 Ford Mustang and 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, as a direct replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Mounted at the engine, the purge solenoid is the valve that controls the flow of fuel vapor from the charcoal canister to the engine intake, where the stored vapor is drawn in and burned instead of being vented.
Signs a purge solenoid may need replacing include a rough idle, hard starting after refueling, a fuel-vapor smell, or an illuminated check engine light with an evaporative-system code. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the EVAP system first. If a failed purge solenoid is the cause, this unit replaces it and helps return the evaporative emission control system to proper operation.
