Can you follow it back towards the rear of the car and see where it originates?

 

[bryanwheat]

That is the vapor line to the tank from the charcoal canister.

^ What he said. Re-route it to somewhere under the car.

 

[billyt]

That is the vapor return line to the tank from the charcoal canister.

Thanks....so does it connect to the engine??

 

[bryanwheat]

Thanks....so does it connect to the engine??

No. It connects to the charcoal canister.

 

[billyt]

No. It connects to the charcoal canister.

ok so my question is: where is the C. canister?? is the charcoal canister in the back of the car? if so, where or to what does that hose connect to in the engine bay.
Sorry for the questions just trying to get a better understanding of it and why was it cut in the first place. (I bought the shell without the motor in so I'm trying to figure these things) Thanks Again =)

Charcoal can should be right where the tube is. It was previously removed.

 

[bradselph]

Its normally under the battery tray, Its big black can.

 

[95eclipseguy]

c-canister is located under the battery tray, at least it was. If the line is cut the canister may have been removed.



Dang, too late.....

 

[bryanwheat]

The canister sits under the battery right where that hose comes thru the firewall and subframe. It just takes the exhaust fumes from the tank and releases them in the intake pipe of the engine. The only hoses out of the canister are for the vacuum control valve on it, and the outlet that goes to the intake pipe.

ok great ! Thanks Guys!! I'll look for one somewhere...

Its common for people to remove that part. No need to reinstall the charcoal canister, if thats what you were planning. Just reroute the hose like mentioned above or just leave it alone.

True, I'm about to pull mine out so I can lower my battery

I pulled mine to lower my battery and plugged the line. Works fine. PM me and and we can work something out if you are still looking for one.

 

[billyt]

Ohh ok... wouldn't that throw a CEL on? I know in some other cars when the canister's valve goes bad it throws a CEL on.

What I'll do for now it leave it alone then I guess.... What are the advantages of lowering your battery? Is there a "How To" or a diagram showing which Vacuum lines I can eliminate?
Thanks

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

I don't have a CEL and I have all of my emissions removed.

 

[billyt]

I don't have a CEL and I have all of my emissions removed.

Is there a write up for this?

I also noticed ( pictures below )

First picture is those two lines that are in the engine harness close to the firewall in the back in the middle. The second picture is another line thats missing and its close to where the brake booster is... Third picture shows these missing things....Any Ideas what these are??

Thanks Again

The hose with the clear sheath around it is the fuel return line, the small one wire plug should be the noise condensor plug thats connected to the top right of the intake manifold.

2nd photo looks to be where your throttle cable is supposed to go.

 

[dsmgst1007]

The first picture of the wires that have been hacked are for 2 solenoids one closer to the tranny side of the car is for the egr solenoid, which from the post seems to have been removed with the c canister, the secound picture is the hole for ## throttle cable to come through the fire wall.

When you say small one wire plug, you mean the brake booster cable?? that connects the Intk manny.

So I need the throtle body cable then??

So if I block off the egr... Do I need that egr solenoid still?

 

[talonalex92]

No I mean the small one wire plug circled in green next to the fuel return hose.
