i'll post a pic tomorrow but on my em1, i was installing the endyn breather kit and noticed the large black canister thing mounted to the firewall with some vac lines connected to it. what is this exactly and can i remove it? it looks to me like some sort of vac recirculation unit or something. i don't know. it takes up a lot of space. thanks

 

could this be the evaporative emissions canister? doesn't sound like anything i need. can anyone confirm and tell me how to properly remove this if it is what i think it is?

 

if it is on the firewall, then yes it is the evap emm. can and no you dont need it till it comes time for inspection. mine is still there....too lazy.

 

well, i don't have emission checks here in FL. so i'm gonna pull it out. just wondering how i should run the vac lines. i wanna get rid of as much as i can so it looks cleaner too. gonna do a wire tuck sort of too.

 

stupid question, i am assuming you are running obd1, if so you are cool, but if you are still obd2 you will get a CEL if you take it out.

 

yeah, i'm running obd1. that's why i want to take it out. i'm gonna take a better look today when i get home from work. any inputs will be awesome.

 

what is this sensor? i'd like to remove it if i can. it's connected to the smaller hose which was hooked up to the evap can. here's pics

 

anybody?

 

Evap purge control solenoid

90% sure

 

i was told the same and that it can be removed. confirmations?

 

I ran without one for a while, OBD1, I rehooked it back up recently and the car idles a lot smoother with it hooked up.
