My civic is throwing a code for evap its a d16y8 swap into a dx and the code was because the charcoal canister/purge valve was missing. i have purchased that but i have a couple other issues now.

There does not appear to be a three way valve and the hoses appear to be different sizes or not there at all, i have some hose lying around just not completely sure how it all goes together.

 

that's what is there now and what is being replaced, i am not sure what the intent was when running the wrong charcoal canister. but some hoses and the three way valve run about 55$ shipped online. unless i can find them used.

 

i got the charcoal canister for a d16y8 to match the engine, should i have gotten the canister for a d16y7 to match the car?

 

Yes

 

darn, the d16y7 charcoal canister is compatible with the d16y8 and the ecu? I want to make sure i buy the right one this time.

 

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure

 

i'm surprised i have not seen anything about this when searching, it would even be in a mini-me swap thread if the dx canister isn't compatible.

 

the purge control valve is what the code was for if i remember right. it was p0440

can someone help me with diagnosing the evap code, d16y8 engine in a civic dx. i believe i was confused about my setup and where the purge valve was located. i have a multimeter for testing sensors if needed.

 

What is the exact code?

 

p0453, and p0450

i reset the code and started the car for 5 mins those codes didnt come back im sure it probably needs to run longer.

 

the vacuum line closest to the firewall goes straight to the metal line to the gas tank. the other line goes to the intake and on the way goes through a filter looking thing and then to the purge control and into the intake.

 

the codes will not go away i have no idea what i need to swap out to make it work.

recap: d16y8 in a obd2a civic dx that had the y7 originally, i have both charcoal canisters for the y7 and the y8. as far as i know everything evap is from the y7.

inspection is up this month!!
