vacum leak? Charcoal Canister ??

[bobiseverywhere]

Just tried to put my Charcoal Canister back in and blamo, vacuum leak, The vacuum line was fine but it being connected to the canister was causing the leak,

i am obviously missing something here? what is it?

As soon as i disconnected the CC and put that Vac line back the Vac leak was gone and i was getting vac again in the Mani.

anyone have thoughts on this, man no one seems to want to help

Put a 1 way valve on it so it doesn't leak boost?

I have a Vacum leak though, thats the problem ???

and when i took it out of the clip there was no 1 way valve on it or anything like that, that i can rmember???

Possible hole in the charcoal can? Or if you have your engine finely tuned via a stand alone system it may not register correctly?

 

[bobiseverywhere]

no stand alone stock ECU, Didn't see a hole in the CC and it is my HKS electronic boost gauge that shows the no vaccum when i have the CC connected,

I did have it T'ed from the Same Vac Line, if that matters? I changed those lines around a bit so i don't remember exatly what vac line was for the CC, i have them all used currently so???? i'm not to sure

no vacuum? I don't think thats the CC. It's a small line going to the CC, there's no way it would cause you to lose ALL vacuum.

Isn't there some sort of vsv under the intake manifiold which the CC connects to? I don't think it gets straight plumbed into the intake. I will check my motor later.

Well thats the really odd part,

As soon as i took that line and just had it connected to the Boost Sensor Vacum was cack to norm

And Honestly i thought the same thing too

if you're connecting that line to the boost sensor then that would suggest you are using manifold pressure for the charcoal cannister, you should be using one of the ports off the throttle body for the cc.

on the 1j i believe it is from a metal bracket which bolts on the side of the manifold, you can follow it from the front to the bracket, to the top of it, crosses to another bracket from memory then to cc

hth

I will check my lines then and see whats coming from where

 

[bobiseverywhere]

I am going to check later today if the weather cooperates

Just ditch the CC and route the line to the lefthand under the car, it will improve your emissiontest and clean up the engine bay.

Looks like you were right changed a vac lines around, boost gauge read more accurate now as well lol
