So, an update to this issue. Still haven't taken it to a dealer (poor like that). Monday morning, on my way to Dialysis, the check engine light came on. When I got home, I hooked up an ODB reader to the car and found it was displaying a P1450 error code. Looking this up revealed the following:
P1450 Ford - Unable to Bleed Up Bleed Fuel Tank VacuumPossible causes
- Blocked EVAP canister or vent solenoid - Kinked or collasped hose between canister and fuel tank - Faulty Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor - Fuel filler cap stuck closed, preventing vacuum relief
I Reset the code, and it hasn't come back yet. The car has farted once, and when I got gas today, it was hard to start. It seems to happen more when the ambient temp goes down like it has been in the mornings of late. I'll be taking it in to get checked out in a week or so. In the mean time, when it farts I stop and stick my finger in the filler cap to release some of the air.
