What kinda of effect would there be if i removed the canister? Is this just something simply used to pass emissions?

 

it will throw Check engine light 91 or 92. on my OBD2 any way.

 

any affects performance or idle wise? I have standalone so throwing codes isnt a problem. Im just trying to clean my engine bay up while the motors out, so if its not needed then i dont want it in there.

 

obd1 i dont think it will throw any codes... but with obd2 it throws a code and puts the ecu into limp mode sometimes (from my expereiece) but this is only when the car is cold... once the car warms up... and u reset the ecu... everything is all well

 

what year+model are we talking here? IF it is OBD2- it also depends if it has the Enhanced evap system or not.It will be hard to get around obd2 with this- the ecu looks for a drop in MAP when the canister is purged. This will throw a P1457 or p1456 code- depending on the system. I don't know how to bypass this in a reasonable fashion.


Evap codes do not put the car in limp mode. The only reason the light does not come back on when you reset it with a warm engine is because the enabling criteria for an evap drive cycle include a cold startup- This is to monitor fuel tank pressure. Evap codes are 2 trip codes. The test has to fail two consecutive times to illuminate the MIL. On obd1- I don't see any provision for monitoring the evap system.
