Looking for a fuel vapor canister purge valve part number4G7Z9C915AA. Have been told that the reproduction part # 991231 requires major modification and so I’m dead in the water right now. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

the part number you're giving is for the purge valve and line assembly in the engine compartment which is now obsolete and no longer available from Ford as an assembly. however I have to think the purge valve itself is not unique to the GT so yes it may be some work taking it off the factory purge vapor line and re-installing. I'm sure someone knows what other purge valve will work. hope that helps. PS: also check that you have voltage coming into the purge valve that it's not the valve but the voltage. jmo

That is one of the first repairs I had to face after buying my '06 GT in '07. I bought the no-longer-available valve and line assembly and was intimidated by the difficulty of installing the the long line through the firewall. Instead, I cut the line on the new part and grafted the old line onto it. That has worked fine ever since. If you can identify an appropriate replacement valve, as Scott suggests, your only issue will be attaching it to the old line. Rich brooks (GT Guy) assisted me and, not surprisingly, was very reluctant to cut the line. That goes against his nature!

after digging thru the Ford system, I think I found the correct replacement part.
Motorcraft CX1597. I haven't tried it but it crosses back to a 2001/2002 Explorer.
sure looks the same!! hope this helps

Does anyone have a pic where the purge valve is located??? Good to know for the rest of us.
Did this a couple years ago after throwing a few codes.
Here's the part I used:

Love this forum - someone will find anything. I have added this to my parts interchange list.

it's not the dealer or techs fault usually when they can only deal with the info given thru the Ford system. usually someone like Rich or Italian Joe have been there before and can find a fix. we're all lucky we have them both! Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 in no particular order or assignment!! lol

You just pull your old lines off and install the new sensor. It’s also the same for f150 from the same era as the car.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and recommendations. Ford, Amazon, Summit, et al say they have the part, but after prodding found they do not have it in stock and have no idea when it may be available. Any other ideas for me? Thanks for all your help. Pretty frustrating to have a FordGT that cannot be driven, now going on 4 months.

What is leading you to this particular part? I just went through a problem on my truck - slow or fast evap leak - and one of the items it calls out is a leak in the "charcoal canister". However, the makeup of that part is an extremely low probabilty that is the problem. The purge valve shown above is much higher on the "debug tree". Loose or broken hoses come next, but first in line is the "gas cap" which in the case of the Ford GT the evap seal is integrated into the filling tube.
If you are getting a check engine code please post the code.
The definitive test is a smoke test. If you start replacing parts without one it'll be a high probability that you'll be back here again...
