if you are uninterested, then do us all a favor and go away

Re: CEL ... ECU throwing code 90 (RealTypeR)
I am going away... I have recently been pursuing the purchase of another car, as I have sold this one. Having a CEL light on doesn't make it easy to sell a car.
For all of you interested the problem was a solenoid and vacum diaphram (sp?) just off of the gas tank. What happens when the car is shut off is a vacum is built in the gas tank (solenoid activates diagram to close, air is sucked out). The excess fumes of this vacum are purged off through a line that ends in the purge canister (black cylinder by the battery) which filters these fumes through charcoal and releases them to the atmosphere. My canister had a small hole in it but was not causing the cell becaue the bottom of this canister is open to the atmosphere and has nothing to do with the vacum.
If there is any leak in the diaphram the engine doesn't see vacum on start up and after two engine cycles (car warm up then cool downs) the CEL will come on throwing this code.
If you have a 1997 or 1996 and it is throwing this code, your parts and labor should be covered under an extended emissions warranty. They thought mine was covered too but it ended up not being covered so the dealership ate the labor and I paid for parts which cost me $154.
I am really sorry that true tech threads are so hard to maintain in this forum. I have felt that I have gained a tremendous amount of information from H-T and I will truely miss the Type R. However I will not miss the image that is associated with owning it nor the countless people who want to f*** with it, or with you when you are driving it.
Just wanted to say thank you to all those who helped me out when I needed it and to all of those whom provided solid information to masses by posting on this board.
Some of those header/physics/fluid dynamics threads were very enlightening (very fun stuff).
