2013 Ford Focus
Vehicle stalls at random times when
stopping or slowing . Ford said they did
a evap update last year . At least that's
what I paid for , but still stalls . I deal
with it . When gas fill up vehicle will not
start , stalls . Restart it and it does fine
until less the 3/4 tank and starts
stalling/ misfire . A few times mileage
to empty gets around 30 to 60 miles
and vehicle runs out of gas . Add gas
does ok . Tonight pulling out of store it
stalled and trying to restart it , 129 to
empty . After about 10 minutes it
stopped cranking , just clicks like
starter . Had no starter issue before . I
am a mechanic for Infiniti , but do not
know anything about Ford Electronics.
What are some things I can look at ? to
at least get it started and get it back to
the shop where I can have more time
to diagnosis it . Thank you for your help
The purge valve (vapor management valve) goes bad a lot in those. Some even have an active recall now that if bad enough will cause check engine light due to purge valve not purging air from fuel tank and causing tank to suction inwards and deforms the fuel tank.
Have you ever put fuel injector cleaner in your car or it could be your starter also doing that. So go get a diagnostic engine reading.
