Okay guys here's the story.
1997 f150 6cyl 4.2l 2wd
auto -213xxxkm

When the truck sits over night.
it starts and drives perfectly.
After about 20-30min i noticed when i stop at a light with my foot on the brake the truck feels like its about to stall out out me. It will be hesitatant to go from a stop occasionally and will sputter.

Check engine light was on and off before this started. Constantly on now..
throwing code p1451
"Evap canister solenoid failure. "

Tested the solenoid and cleaned connections.. checked fuel filter also, has a nice flow to it still.

Whether its related or not.. unsure however I was tboned a while ago as well. Driver side right behind the door. Some cosmetic damage to the truck but nothing near the frame or components. Other car left on a flatbed.. loll

Any suggestions on what i should look at next?

 

Bad wire somewhere. Trace the wires from the evap solenoid.

 

Had a look.. followed the wires
no corrosion or wear even on covering.. runs up to pmc.. still nothing

I've even replaced canister solenoid now..
