(Caveat: I'm not an expert on 20 year old Fords.)

The charcoal canister, and associated valves (including the purge valve) are parts of the evaporative emissions control system. A failure here won't leave you stranded on the side of the road, but it will cause you to fail your state's inspection.

You could try cleaning or replacing the purge valve, but evap emissions systems have a lot of interconnections, and the real problem may be elsewhere.

Hi purge is the fuel and air locks which can form in fuel lines when the fuel tank is let to run dry.

Will that fix it or what do you suggest.
