Some canister thingy
When i was changing my fuel filter i found a canister thingy ziptied to one of the rear intake manifold brackets with two vacuum lines attached to it from the throttlebody. What is this?
It rattles when u shake it so it must be broken, so i just unplugged it and put a joiner between the lines. Can i do this?

Do you have a fuel vapour canister ?
Either way that thing didn't come with the car only canister I can think of is the fuel vapour one that's normaly in drivers fender area

Re: Some canister thingy
Certainly looks like a fuel vapour cannister. Is the factory one not up under the front bar? (behind drivers side fog light?)

Re: Some canister thingy

Re: Some canister thingy
