Q: How Do You Inspect and Test the Evaporative Emissions Control System and Vapor Canister?
A: The Evaporative Emissions Control system draws and burns fuel vapors from the tank and carburetor. A fuel odor in the engine compartment indicates a fault. Inspect the charcoal canister near the rear exhaust manifold and system hoses. Test the system by disconnecting the hoses from the canister, plugging pipe A, and blowing air through pipe B. Air should flow freely with no charcoal escaping. If necessary, replace the canister and reconnect the hoses.
