Fuel canister My tire blew and took a chunk out of the side of the vapor canister. About the size of a quarter. If I cover this with an epoxy that will harden will the correct pressure be restored to make the check engine light go off? I really don't want to spend the $650 estimate to replace the canister if I don't have to.

Visit the wreckers that wrecks your make of vehicle and get a good second hand unit. The unit handles fuel and fuel vapours and fuel and epoxy do not mix so the patch will probably fall off after a short time. consider this --the cost will be what you say but the cost in fuel from reduced economy and fuel related problems will soon exceed that cost

SOURCE: my 2002 toyota sienna has evap system malfunction

You are on the right track, you replaced the vent valve and replaced the vsv valve in the engine compartment that should of solved the problem as long as the correct valves were replaced, i would check for a leak in a hose for the evap system, a smoke test would be a good way, the canister may not be the problem but the valves on the canister, there are a few vsv valves on the canister and also the pressure sensor, the switching valve is very common also, there are so many valves thats why the dealer replacing the canister as an asm, hope this helps also make sure gas cap is good.

SOURCE: avalanche won't take fuel need

It could be. However, if the vapor canister is saturated, there is usually something wrong with the EVAP system that caused it.
I would first look under the truck at the fuel fill neck and hoses to make sure that there is no obvious damage or kinks in the hoses or pipes.
Then I would scan the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to make sure there are no EVAP codes. If there are any fault codes present, these need to be diagnosed and repaired FIRST.

Other possible causes:
Fuel limiter vent valve stuck closed
Check valve stuck closed
EVAP canister vent solenoid stuck closed
Ignition switch in ON position while refueling
High fuel temperature

Where is the Vapor Canister Purge Valve located on a 1999 cadillac catera
My 99 Deville has purge valve right on top of engine (Northstar) just rearward of throttle body. Looks like a black almost round cylinder the size of a roll of quarters with a wire connector out the back. Easy to remove and replace, and a common part to fail and set emission code.
If you are sure it's bad, buy one and you should be able to find the old one by looking at the new part.

Vent solenoid location on a 2003 sunfire
On a 2002 Sunfire, the fuel vapor canister purge solenoid (AKA canister vent solenoid) is between the engine and the firewall, up high near the hood. It's a black box with two hose or fuel vapor line ports going toward the passenger side and one toward the driver side. One of the passenger side hoses goes to the vapor canister.

Fuel canister valve
Fuel vapor canister or charcoal canister. Your purge solenoid may be inoperable. When engine is running the solenoid energizes to purge the canister of vapors into a line going to the intake manifold.
Remove the canister and dump the fuel out-the charcoal element inside the canister can be replaced, if completely saturated with gas, as I suspect yours is. Getting it to work again may be a lot of fun on an '87-been too long for me-better find the repair procedure re: the canister, and how to check the purge solenoid.
Go to autozone.com, register for free listing your make, model, year, and engine size. Look under repair guides for operation and testing of the charcoal canister. If not enough info there at autozone (some help is there, but not as much as in a repair manual), then buy the repair manual for your bronco or check at local library-they often have many repair manuals for check-out or reference.

1996 Ford Aerostar 3.0 L V-6 Constant check engine light ON Ran codes. Code says vacuum leak on fuel canister. I'd like to change all the vacuum lines. Don't have a good schematic. Haynes manual only...
what codes?

The vacuum lines run from the canister to the intake manifold. One is the purge hose to deliver stored fuel vapor to the intake to be burnd when engine is warm and you are crusing at part throttle. The other line is the vacuum line to operate it.

Fuel Vapor Valve, Aerostar (4.0L Engine) The evaporative emission valve (9B593) uses a small orifice, 1.83mm (0.072 inch), that allows vapors to pass into the vapor line running forward to the evaporative emissions canister (EVAP canister) (9D653). This evaporative emission valve mounts directly into the fuel tank (9002) using a fuel vapor separator seal. Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the orificed evaporative emission valve. The vapors from the fuel tank leave the evaporative emission valve through a single vapor line and continue to the evaporative emissions canister in the engine compartment for storage.
-----------------------------------------------------
Fuel Vapor Canister Purge Regulator Valve, Aerostar, Ranger Removal and Installation
  1. Disconnect wire harness from evaporative emission canister purge valve (EVAP canister purge valve) (9C915).
  1. Disconnect wire harness from thermistor.
  1. Disconnect evaporative emission canister purge valve assembly from fuel vapor canister and throttle body.
  1. To install, reverse removal procedure.

Fuel goes into 2002 gmc jimmy very slow. could it be fuel sensor? where is this located?
On your Jimmy there is a solenoid that controls fuel vapor emissions.
When filling the vehicle this solenoid called the "canister vent valve" should be open allowing the vapors to reach the carbon canister where these vapors are stored to be burned later.
These solenoids can seize closed and not allow the tank to vent properly.
This solenoid will need to be replaced.
It is mounted above and ahead of the spare tire so the tire will need to be removed to gain access to it.
After you remove the spare it is only a matter of disconnecting a couple of hoses and a wire connector then removing the valve.
There you are, thank you for using FixYa.

How do i replace the natural vacuum leak detection pump on a 2005 dodge dakota?
Vehicles equipped with NGC engine control modules use an NVLD pump and system. Vehicles equipped with JTEC engine control modules use a leak detection pump. Refer to Leak Detection Pump (LDP) for additional information.
The Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) system is the next generation evaporative leak detection system that will first be used on vehicles equipped with the Next Generation Controller (NGC). This new system replaces the leak detection pump as the method of evaporative system leak detection. This is to detect a leak equivalent to a 0.020 (0.5 mm) hole. This system has the capability to detect holes of this size very dependably.


Removal & Installation
  1. Raise and support vehicle.
  2. Remove left-rear tire.
  3. Remove plastic shield (4) in front of left-rear tire. Access to both the EVAP canister (1) and NVLD pump (6) is from the area in front of the removed tire.
  4. Disconnect electrical connector at NVLD pump.
  5. Remove vapor line at NVLD pump. Pry outward on tab (3) and rotate pump (6) clockwise about 70 for removal.
  6. Remove NVLD pump O-ring (5) from EVAP canister (1).
To Install:
  1. Install new NVLD pump O-ring (5) to EVAP canister (1).
  2. Position NVLD pump (6) into EVAP canister (1).
  3. Rotate pump (6) until tab aligns with notch in EVAP canister (1).
  4. Carefully install vapor/vacuum lines to NVLD pump.
    WARNING The vapor/vacuum lines and hoses must be firmly connected. Check the vapor/vacuum lines at the NVLD pump, filter and EVAP canister purge solenoid for damage or leaks. If a leak is present, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
  5. Connect electrical connector to pump.
  6. Install plastic shield in front of left-rear tire.
  7. Install left-rear tire.

2000 ford taurus gas tank has what appears to be a fitting on the top right rear that has hoses attached. there are stains and gas smell coming from this area. my repair manual mentions a plastic push...
The Evaporative Emission Control System monitors the fuel vapor flow between the engine intake manifold and the EVAP canister. The system failure occurs when a leak or blockage between the intake manifold, the EVAP canister purge valve and the EVAP canister is detected by the PCM.

Code P1443 Possible Causes:

- Pinched, blocked or plugged fuel vapor tubes/hoses (except between fuel tank and EVAP canister)

- Damaged EVAP canister

- Disconnected, cracked or cut fuel vapor tubes/hoses (except between fuel tank and EVAP canister)

- Damaged EVAP canister purge valve

Notes: Check for audible vacuum noise in the engine compartment or significant fuel odor in the engine compartment or near the EVAP canister.

On my '98 4x4, the cannister purge valve is located under the hood, mounted on the driver's side fender.

The EVAP cannister itself is located underneath the truck, in back, between the spare tire and the truck bed (have to remove the spare to get at it).

If it were me I would hold off on replacing parts...I'd drive around some more first, making sure that I don't overfill the gas tank or run it dry and making sure I replace the gas cap properly, etc. If the code returns, then its time to think repairs.
