How did they give you an estimate if they didn't diagnose the vehicle? 
Guess I'm confused on exactly what went down when you went to the dealer.
Did you read over the TSB?
The canister purge valve is on the rear of the intake manifold. That puts it toward the driver's headlight assembly, near the radiator. You'll need an 8mm socket to remove it.
Now the problem is, even if you replace the valve you don't have the equipment to run an EVAP test as is required by the TSB to verify that the system is operating properly. Also, the check engine light will remain on for quite some time, on some vehicles the code will not clear itself for 80 warm-up cycles. On most vehicles since around 2008 you can't erase codes by disconnecting the battery, you have to use a scan tool. That may be OK with you since you are trying to save money.

Found: EVAP PURGE FLOW VALVE STICKING
Recommending: "Diag, Replace sensor then retest" Estimate is $520 less diag...
They want to install new 9C915 which they called in hand writing a Canister purge sensor but you call canister purge valve.
9C915 is the part you originally described as "toward the driver's headlight assembly, near the radiator. You'll need an 8mm socket to remove it"... I believe this is the $40 part?

Whether or not FIREME gets an e-mail about an updated thread (and when that might arrive, if configured) is entirely dependent on his personal forum configurations....

As long as we're working in this old thread (btw, I started a similar thread, but this thread contains more information (and I have zero replies so far))...
Is that where the evap vent valve is located for a 2006 Ford Escape Limited 4dr 3.0L V6 AWD 4-speed Automatic? A diagram would be great.
Thanks in advance!
The canister vent solenoid is mounted on the EVAP canister, which is on the bottom side of the floor pan on the drivers side, just in front of the fuel tank. A couple of 10mm nuts and a couple more bolts hold it on. Carefully remove the hoses and unbolt the canister itself from the bracket. The canister vent solenoid is on the side of the canister. To remove the solenoid, hold the small plastic tab on the canister out of the way (you'll see what I mean) and turn the valve to the RIGHT about a quarter turn then pull out. Lube the o-rings of the new valve with a bit of oil and reinstall in reverse order.
Thanks in advance!
