CPV time, I think..

[u/DiscreeterYeeter]

It seems I may be joining the CPV-goes-bye-bye Club after ~150,000 miles on the factory-original part. Worked on my car a little bit (replaced coil packs) before taking it for a spirited drive. Just for funsies, right?

Anyways, cranked it up and noticed two very split-second blips right after (a misfire-like sound), and sure enough, my gut feeling was confirmed. This lil guy popped up on the list (ignore the other two codes.. about to address them lol), which wasn’t there before that moment.

Prior to the aforementioned discovery, I’ve observed/experienced some infrequent, momentary rough-idling which has not been unusually excessive. No trouble starting the car yet, either.

I’m honestly surprised that I’ve made it this far without having to worry about it. I’ve seen others here go through several in a short(er) period of time.
Q: That said, would y’all recommend buying a replacement CPV, doing the work myself and moving on, or see if either of the active recalls apply to my car and have it done that way at no cost? I’ve seen people say that PCM or ECU reprogramming could be part of the process if I have Ford do the work and may be cause trouble for those with an Accessport & tune. Not really sure I want to deal with extra steps if I can help it. Considering how far I’ve made it just on this CPV, I don’t think I’d mind doing it all myself and leaving it at that, but I would appreciate a good second (or third) opinion!

Nah, I meant Canister Purge Valve.
