I've had error code 1450 coming up for a couple years now off and on. Last I heard,....there was a lot of confusion over what it might be,...with the suggestion that it might be related to the evap system, since 1450 was apparently an evap system code for Ford.

Any new insight into this code?

I am about to sell my 03 and would like to fix this code before selling it.

Seems like it's an evap system leak. Did you try replacing the gas cap?

 

yes, I put a new OE gas cap on.....no difference

 

Any other thoughts?

 

charcoal canister or a leak in one of the lines from the gas tank all the way to the purge valve

 

Clean the gas spout with scotch-brite so the new gas cap has a better fitment

 

Has that actually worked for someone?

 

me, that is why I keep recommending it as the first thing to do
