carbon canister shut off valve ?
I am getting a CEL saying that the carbon filter SHUT OFF valve is below limit. Can anyone point out to me this valve as I want to exchange it for a new one. I have changed the purge valve by the gas filler neck but now I am looking for the 'shut off' valve. I see at the top of the canister a plug which I have removed. I see now what appears to be a valve going into the canister. It twists about half a turn but does not come out. I am dammed if I can actually remove the canister for a closer inspection. I removed a bolt on the right of the canister but something is still holding it back from coming out. If someone can point out a video for removal of the charcoal canister removal I would appreciate any help.
F**K me now I see a page where they refer to the purge valve as the shut off valve yet when I pumped in the part number to google it bounced back at me as the PURGE VALVE with good photos of then same valve in my hand. The mind boggles. This must be the one I need to exchange. I think it must be leaking a little around the neck because when I removed it, the top was wet on one side around the "O" ring at the top. I just wished for certain is this valve the purge or the shut off valve. I don't see any more going into the canister.
The diagrams on the page I linked includes the location of both valves. Since you've already replaced the one near the filler neck, I assumed the other would be the one you were after.
That's seems to be the only alternative. They are cheap enough so will buy one and try it. I am having more trouble with solving this C E L it's driving me nuts.
