i see many people having issues with evap, i pernonally never had one and i do and done many fords and others. but remember certain requirements must be met or it will not worked.
the vehicle must be parked over night or at least 8 hours, ambient temperature between 40f to 100f altitude no more than 8000 feet, the air temperature sensor must match the coolant temperature sensor which should be the same as ambient temperature, note just because the vehicle was parked all night does not mean this readings are going to be ok cuz sometimes they are not and need to be checked, fuel level between half to 3 quater tank, 3/4 tank is more desireable, battery voltage is very important also, hook up a booster or charger, no trouble codes present or history, reset kam if you must. some ford techs just want to do it to get rid off the p1000 code, in that case do a drive cycle to bypaas it. maybe i have been lucky and never ran into one that i can remember besides some hondas. good luck, i have also sent datalogs to support regarding this fetures for others not me personally, support engineers have found nothing wrong with it and neither have i. now you get to work on ford more than most of us do so i know you are going to run into more issues than us and i am sure you knew the aboved explanations, they were not ment for you but for everybody that didnt know and with the upmost respect.
