Default Need A/C help!

Hi,

Since buying my teg I've noticed that the a/c has a nasty gas smell. When I took it to the shop, they told me that it was missing a canister for the filtration system. I tried looking up a part number or info for this but couldn't find any. Would anyone here have some pics or part numbers for this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Luis

I'm guessing you didn't take it to a A/C shop. Hace you checked your evaporator and blower? They might be dirty.

Nope. I searched around and read something about Integras not having a filtration system, so I was a bit confused.

I'll check the blower, etc. to see if that's it like you said.

Thanks.

Is your charcoal canister connected properly? Do you only smell it when the A/C button is activated (compressor turned on)?

If the charcoal canister is not hooked up properly, you could be drawing gasoline vapors inside the cabin, which is pretty dangerous.

That must be the canister that they were referring to.. seems like mine is missing. It's a good thing I haven't lit any cigarettes in there...

I guess I can look for one of these at a junk yard.

Thanks for your help.
