check engine light

[rozebud]

driving home from a fishing trip yesterday and the check engine light came on, so I pulled over and checked the oil and rad fluid level. all was good. no leaks or drips in engine compartment or under the truck. when I restarted the engine it was smooth and quiet. according to the ford pass app it shows there is an EVAP EMISSIONS SYSTEM failure. I have under half of a tank of gas left and was wondering if I should fill up before going to dealership for check up. Im also due for an oil change. oil life is at 13%but with only 5000 klms on the full synth.oil. I was still 100 klms. to go so I drove it home with the engine light on. has anyone else had this happen to them??

That evap canister has been a problem for folks in the past.

Let me guess. Did you have it undercoated?

 

[rozebud]

yes it was undercoated in OCT/21

I was wondering if you top up after the pump shuts off at fill ups

 

[rozebud]

I dont think im topping off but I do try to round off to the next dollar on the pump.

I can virtually guarantee that the undercoating fouled your canister. It's a common problem.

That's one habit I had to break starting with my Titan not rounding up where it stops I leave it. Pardon my ignorance but do the global Rangers have gas caps or are they like the NA with a spring-loaded stopper?

And bcause it's undercoated warranty will not cover it. A few other threads about this.

you would think the problem would happen just after the undercoating not 10 months later.

They are capless

Not sure. But IIRC most everybody else whose had that issue had months between the two as well.

ok thanks for all the replys. will call the dealer tomorow to book an oil change and tell them about the check engine light.

Been awhile since I checked in. I got the flashing engine light today with the big shudder/missing intermittently this morning. Got back home with the light staying on now, and a miss shudder going up the hill. Soonest any dealer can get me in is the 22nd, holy moly, I still need to get to work! From what I've read in the other threads I may give it the Italian tune up to see if it clears out the CAC. I have been slow driving lately. The problem started this morning when I mashed the pedal to pass a painfully slow driver. Nothing showing up on my Ford Pass app, yet. May go to a local shop to at least see what code it throws out.

Is that anything like a Raytheon Reset?
