Reload this Page 2006 major vaccum leak

Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Unhappy 2006 major vaccum leak
I have a reoccuring trouble code that says I have a major vaccum leak. I have replaced the gas cap but it still returns. I believe it goes through a self-test cycle each time I clear the code. The code returns after about 10 hours of operation. I saw a TSB that talked about the charcoal canister purge valve. I am looking for the cheapest way to have repaired properly. Any suggestions??
Thanks
