Here is how I ran mine. I have since removed the charcoal canister purge solenoid completely and tucked the map sensor under the intake manifold. I'll take more pics tomorrow.

is it true i have to disconnect the 2 wire connector (solenoid) because i read somewhere that i have to unplug it. Did u unplug yours

CRXed

I was running it capped off, but it was plugged in. I pulled the plug out and ran around the block and performance was fine, no codes. The function of that solenoid is to allow vapors from the canister into the intake during acceleration only. If you have no canister, well, take that ish out. I have one of those two ports on the intake manifold capped. I forget which one but you'll see in pics tomorrow.

wow ive never actually thaught about gettin rid of the canister, but it looks so nice without it there. somone please post what all you have to do to get rid of it.

I ran the fuel tank vent line down to a plastic tube coming out of the bottom of the firewall / shock tower area.

Looks ok to me. If it runs fine then it is. If it surges, you got a leak.

ok so i can cap off the one the comes from the tb and from the back of the manifold and get rid of the purge solenoid because it looks to me i connects to the tb and the back of the manifold

hey crxed your valve cover hose is off
anyways what about the big cluster on the firewall???

CRXed

When you take the purge solenoid off all you are left with is the map sensor. You can take off the whole mounting assembly. I zip tied the map sensor to my intake manifold for now, going to mount it to the TB later on.

kixcrx

ok so this is what i did i removed the purge solenoid so it looks likes this now
and in this pic this is what i capped off does this look right

Crx Jimmy

make sure you dont cap off the vent from the gas tank its the fitting on the firewall that went to the canister, just run a hose from it and let it hang down a foot or so, if its capped off it can cause problemns with pressure in the fuel system

HondaFerris

he allready pointed out what he did with the gas tank vent in his first post...and the way he did it is better than just letting it hang down.

layedoutat0psi

now what do i do about the hose coming off of the fuel presure regulator???? do i just run it to a spot on the intake manifold or what?

layedoutat0psi

anyone?

Yes.

zkelley

i was wondering what did you do with the hard vacuum lines on the back on the intake manifold. if you can post me a pic of the back of your intake manifold it would help me alot! i ran mine like you have yours but it ran like crap and i figured i had some hoses backwards or somethin wasnt capped off so im not sure. thanks
