Reads like you mean the canister filter + CANister Purge (CANP) solenoid..... or.....

mustangmike9285

yeah thats it what does it really do

mustangmike9285

wait i think there are two vacume hoses coming from yours where does the smaller oner on the bottom nipple go

It's the filter used for venting the gas fumes from the fuel tank. One hose is the fuel tank breather, and the other hose is the vacuum supply to extract the fumes from the charcoal filter box into the intake, the solenoid is used to control when and for how long the "purging" occurs as determined by the EFI computer.

You can get rid of it if you are going to bypass your smog pump.

the evap canister has NOTHING to do with the smog pump... FYI

some refer to it as the charcoal box..

i ripped it out and plugged the two hoses
