Lets talk emissions.
I was looking underneath my Explorer the other day and noticed the charcoal canister was gone. There were just two emission lines and the Purge valve solenoid. (in half BTW) The charcoal canister is supposed to be located in the ear of the gas tank, and the purge valve solenoid is in half and is in it's own little area. Canister is completely gone. PVS is in half. Lines are disconnected. My question.
Is this all necessary?
I was thinking I could do a canister delete somehow. Plug the lines or remove them and plug the holes? No CEL. Only ABS light.
ANother reason...the canister is 90 bucks at Auto Zone and the stinkin Purge valve solenoid is the same price!!! Holy crap...
I appreciate all of your opinions!
BTW, I won't pass emissions without them, will I? Where I live, I don't need emissions control crap, but I'm selling this Ex so it needs to pass emissions.
