Hey Guys
Sorry to bring back such an old thread, but i am having the same issue with my car. I have a 2001 Bullitt and the CEL and Fuel cap light keep coming on. I brought it to ford and they also quoted me $350 and said i needed a new Vapor Management Valve. My question is, where is the VMV? I have been reading posts about it and i keep getting confused. I took the passenger fender liner off, and saw the part in there (pa66-gf33) is this the VMV? I also read somewhere that the VMV is near the intake somewhere? I would appreciate any help, i just want to get all these problems fixed so i can sell it.
Thanks a lot
Steve

It's not hard to swap at all. Ford is making a ton on this. This should be the part you need but pull the code 1st to see what it is.

The valve should be in the engine bay near the firewall. It is on my car anyway.

For the 1999-2004 model year, I believe the VMV is located in the right hand fender well (not in the engine bay). To access, it is necessary to remove the plastic fender liner. I'm sure that's where a good chunk of the labor $$'s are.

Hey all
Thanks for all the help
Since there was some conflicting part numbers going on i ended up just calling ford and asking them for the part number for the "vapor management valve." Unfortunately, i called 2 different dealerships and they each gave me a different part number. I ended up just taking the part cx1692 off since i had the fender liner off. I cleaned it all real well and reinstalled it. I will report back if the light stays off because of this. ( i am not to optimistic about this)
thanks a lot
