    Could be a code related to a gas cap not fully seated if your car has a gas cap.  If the cap is not fully seated a proper pressure cannot be reached.  If it doesn't have a cap like many newer fords, then try some google searches.  Have you done any mods to the car?

    If it is the cap, it make take several miles and/or several starts to clear the code.  Good luck

    I put an aftermarket locking gas cap on my Jeep due to "loosing some gas" in my driveway at night. I started getting that very same code PO451. It was the gas cap not sealing properly. Put my old one back on - no problems now.
