Hello, it's great to have a resource like this Ford Explorer Community. Thank you for your insights and help on this problem. I'm avoiding going to a Ford Dealer and what to, if possible, fix this myself. Any help would be much appreciated.
If Fuse #13 (under the hood) blows and that fuse controls the Canister Vent Solenoid (above the spare tire) AND the freeze frame data points to P1451 then it stands to reason that the CVS is the culprit? Why would there be eleven trouble codes. I disconnected the EGR solenoid (no power) and fuse 13 still blew so I eliminated that.
Why does a 15 amp fuse control seven different systems anyway?
I have a 1999 Ford Explorer V8 5.0 AWD. 176,000 miles on it.
Check Engine light is on. There are eleven different codes.
P1747 Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
P0750 Shift Solenoid A
P0755 Shift Solenoid B
P0743 Torque Converter Clutch Electrical
P1507 Idle Air Control
P1451 EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
P0135 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0141 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2
P0155 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0161 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 2
P1409 EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Circuit

Freeze Frame data is for code P1451 Canister Vent Solenoid
FUELSYS1 CL
FUEL SYS 2 N/A
LOAD_PCT(%) 26.7
ETC(F) 192
SHRTFT1(%) -1.6
LONGFT1(%) -2.3
SHRTFT2(%) 0.8
LONGFT2(%) -1.6
RPM(min) 4139
VSS(mph) 58

This all happened July 27. I stopped for gas in Gastonia after a very humid rainy day and I believe there was water in the gas. I drove for about three minutes and everything went haywire. No acceleration, sputtering...
I changed the fuel filter and cleaned out all the bad gas.
-----------------------------------
NOW here is the other thing...... under the hood in the fuse box...
fuse #13 (15 amp) controls
Heated Oxygen Sensor\
EGR Vacuum Regulator
EVR Solenoid
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Canister Vent Solenoid
Well I checked and sure enough fuse #13 was blown out.
I replaced it with another 15amp fuse and immediately it was running perfect and back to normal
However...after five minutes it blew out. I tried a couple more and they blew out also.
---------------------------------
This info leads me to believe that there is a short in the Canister Vent Solenoid which is located above the spare tire underneath. Would this solenoid cause all the other systems to fall?
Based on this information have you had experience with this type of problem?
Thanks,
Stephen
