Ford Freestar 2007: Symptoms and suspicions regarding malfunctions in the tank ventilation system

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2007 Ford Freestar (gasoline engine, 125250 km run). The symptoms are varied: the check engine light is on, the engine runs rough, shudders at idle, stutters when accelerating and has a loss of power. My car even stops idling from time to time. I suspect it has something to do with the tank ventilation system. Has anyone had similar problems? Have you been to a mechanic and what was your experience? I had no luck last time. I look forward to your opinions and advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi buddy, I had a similar problem a few months ago with my 2004 Ford Galaxy. It sounded the same, the check engine light was on and my car was shaking and stuttering just like yours. Of course I went to the garage straight away. The mechanics found that the hoses were clogged. It turned out that this problem is very serious as it can damage the engine if not fixed in time. They had to clean several parts and replace some hoses to get everything back to normal. Better get your car checked before it gets worse. Hope this helps you!

Hi, thanks for your quick reply! Seems like you went through exactly the same thing. Do you happen to remember the costs you incurred to get it fixed? And did everything run smoothly afterwards or were there any other problems? I'd be really interested to know!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! It's been a while now, but after I went to the garage, the fault was actually in the tank ventilation system. It cost me 175 euros to clean the dirty hoses and all the fiddling around. A small fortune, yes, but after that, the spook was over. No more shaking, no more stuttering, runs like a kitten. So I would really advise you to get it checked by a professional before it gets any worse!

Thanks for the detailed info, really helpful! Seems like it's really best if I go to the garage first before it gets really serious. 175 euros is a lot of money, but hey, safety first and I don't want the situation to get any worse. Thanks again for the advice!
