Ive been searching around and i havent quite found out what negatives come with removing your charcoal canister. only experienced people reply. also the lines that go into the canister did u just plug them or did you leave them the way they were

 

took mines out. i just left the lines how they were

 

any other input on this?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I only have one line going to my can and it is the line from the fuel system back up. I believe it is a breather. Not sure if I should cap that off or leave it vent into the air. I am not sure if it needs to create a vaccume or build pressure.

 

I've been wanting to do this as well, but I was told this will throw a CEL. yes or no?

 

I have aem ems so not worried about CEL. Just worried about it the fuel system will not build proper pressure.

 

n00b question. Why ?

I want to remove mine b/c all the other lines on it are blocked off. There is really no use for it in my car. Plus if I remove it I can then mount my catch can over in that area.

 

anyone have a answer for me?

I dont have a very good one, but meh....too bad.

So I took mine out when I was spiffing up the engine bay,
but I was just flying through everything tyring to get the thing
running again, then I crashed it the next day, so its all a bit of a blur.

I took it out and looped the line to the intake manifold. It was on my
92cx, so no plugs or anything like on the 6th gens. It was very easy,
I cant belive I dont remember what exactly I did.

I didnt drive around long enough to decide if it made a difference,
but a lot of people say that they smell the gas fumes with out it.

 

won't pass smog visually. on average would waste about .3 gallons per tank.

 

n00b question #2. What does it do?

 

it absorbs the fuel vapors instead of them going into the engine bay. but after being a few years old i dont see it really doing you good anyhow

 

How does it help and can you replace it?

 

how does it help? by cutting down on emissons, not letting fuel vapors to the atmosphere

can it be replaced? yes i can be replaced but if memory serves me right they are not cheap

 

New one for $155 from slhondaparts.com

Definitely not cheap. Just leave it alone.

 

i remember reading threads on h-t about removing it without any ill affects. keep in mind that most obd0-1 jdm cars dont have them. i would assume that if the nipples on the TB and i/m were capped off and the evap purge solenoid was left plugged in, you wont have any problems ditching the can. just keep it for smog
