My check engine light came on, scanned it showed P0496 code. I checked my gas cap just in case. But I honestly feel clueless…do fiestas have gas caps or plugs? This is what it looks like now…am I missing something??
They don’t use a standard gas cap; that little metal piece is the filler ‘cap.’ You push the pump against it to open it for refueling.
The code you’re seeing indicates a purge valve issue. The usual fix is to replace the purge valve solenoid and then clear the code.
I also have this code, what was the fix? and where did you get the part?
I had the same issue with my 2016 and replaced the purge valve solenoid after dealing with the code for about two years. The only problem I noticed was that I’d have to restart my car 3-4 times while pumping gas because the fuel line would lose pressure. It was more of an annoyance than anything. Now that I’ve replaced it, I can leave the gas station right away— or petrol station if you’re in Europe!
I just got a 2019 ford fiesta and I got gas in it for the first time today, maybe that’s why it didn’t start after I got gas? I have the evap code also
