Right now I have my EVAP purge solenoid unplugged and i was wondering if this was dangerous? I was brousing clubsi, and someone on there said

"Your cannister can get saturated with fuel. Eventually, it will overspill with fuel and leak out causing a possible fire hazard. Not to mention VOC compounds released into the atmosphere. "

Does anyone know if this is true?

i guess all those hybrids running around with no evap hooked up are spilling fuel all over the place

ive had my evap unplugged for a few years now. no problems

 

Cool, yeah i know alot of guys running it unplugged, i have mine totally removed. I just wanted to make sure that it was ok. Thanks.

how do you run it unplugged without throwing a CEL code?

 

I have a p28 obdI ecu.

 

Wheres it located? I'd like to know if mine is either plugged or unplugged.

 

Andrew, the OBD2 Evap/Purge system runs differently than the OBD1 system. Unplugging it stops the hunting idle some people get when you are using an OBD1 ECU. Since the ECU isn't looking for the OBD2 solenoid, no CEL. Not sure what the differences between the two EVAP systems are, though.
