Wanna test your Solenoid Valve on your Charcoal Canister (EECS)
Has anyone ever wondered if the solenoid on the charcoal canister works? I took the opportunity to post up some pictures so that anyone can reference to. These pictures and info comes directly out of a GM 1986 Camaro Shop Manual.

Very interesting. Way to think outside the box. Good job.

Re: Wanna test your Solenoid Valve on your Charcoal Canister (EECS)
This stuff is gold!!, exactly what I was looking for. I wonder if it would be different kind of testing for the later models' canister/solenoid style...

This is great. I was looking for the configuration to hook my system back up to get rid of the fuel vapor smell after shutting off the vehicle and reduce fuel tank pressure. Sunday project at the Acura dealership. Good thing I have free access to the shop.

Thanks so much, I just posted a thread few days ago about that without any responses, so that really helped.

Re: Wanna test your Solenoid Valve on your Charcoal Canister (EECS)
Thanks, by the way, I was wondering if you know anything about the AIR inlet on the top of the canister, mine has a cap on it and I was wondering if it should be open or kept close with the cap...?

There should be a hose there. Check out this post that I made. It'll describe the vaccum lines for you. Just search for the one that corresponds to your engine.

Re: Wanna test your Solenoid Valve on your Charcoal Canister (EECS)
I didn't see anything, and even on the diagram it shows it but nothing connected to it, the only question is if the cap should stay off or on...I cannot seem to get someone that knows something about it
