Is there a way to get rid of the canister and not get a check engine light? Does anyone make a kit to remove it?

fox body cars are odb I compliant and therfore they do not monitor evap so you shouldn't get a code by removing it...just cap off the vaccum line going to the purge selonoid

there is 2 wires that go down by it what are they for and what do you do with them?

it is on the hose that you cant see as soon as it tucks behind the frame it has a little canister with 2 wires i am gonna try to get some better pics.

the little canister with the electrical connection is the purge selonoid and the one hose going into it should go to the intake and the valve acts as a gateway/check valve to purge the fuel vapors to the intake to be burned

andywear87

well the end that goes to the intake has a plug in it so i can just remove all of it and just tuck the electical conection. do i need to leave the hose from the fuel tank vented?

mjr46

I just left the fuel tank hose vented to inside the fenderwell and or purchase a vented gas cap and plug off that hose..and then you can remove it all

what does the thing even do? I was looking at it last night too and was wondering what it was.

mjr46

it's a purge selonoid and when the canistor is full of vapor/saturated it'll open/purge the canistor of all vapors and are transmited through the line connected to the purge selonoid to manifolf vaccum which will pull the vapors in via vaccum to the manifold to be burned in the cumbustion chambers

Simply put the purge canister is a charcoal filter
that allows the gas tank to vent into the intake manifold
instead of into the atmosphere.

The canister is there to catch anything that might get in
the system beside fuel vapors.
