Ugh.... I had this issue about 5 years ago. Pulled the fuse box and all fuses and saw the board was heated and slightly melted. Replaced a relay and it’s been working.

So today I dropped the rear section (NOT easy and a few curse words)
I found 2 canisters, a solenoid (a bit rusty) and the plastic lines running up to the engine bay.
Is there a way to test the rear solenoid? I plugged it in and started the engine. I felt no pressure or suction from the plastic...
Ohhhhhh I see! I actually took both of those off. The one on the brake booster and there is another one near the drivers side fuel rail. I popped the top off of it, cleaned the filter out and put it back together.
I’m kind of thinking of starting at the rear end and taking the damn charcoal...

P0455.

What relay are you referring to? is there a difference between the 2 fuel caps? New One is push lock and 1/4 turn.
Old one was turn until it clicked or ratcheted...
The replacement cap is an actual motorcraft cap but it’s the 1/4 turn and not the original ratcheting cap...
The smoke tester would be awesome. I could use it for kids parties afterward.

Just replaced the fuel pump about 2 months ago and started getting P0455 code.
Purchased a new fuel cap (not original clicky one but the quarter turn Ford one) and code went away.
