Charcoal canister location
Charcoal canister location Where is the Darned thing? Still getting an evap control solenoid issue on my 93z I replaced the solenoid on the passenger side of the intake manifold, but the code still comes up. So now Im looking at either replacing the entire canister, or maybe just the solenoid on the canister... still debating. I had hopes of waiting till my car becomes emissions exempt(october as far as I can tell), and deleting all emissions equipment... But.. I was pulled over yesterday for my 4 year old inspection Sticker.. heh.. And right now, this evap issue is the only thing keeping me from passing.

Typically on the 93s the Evap or Quad4 error is caused when the air pump, or air pump harness fails. On the 93's the wire from the fuse box to the air pump is the wrong gauge and it burns out. If the antibackfire valves ( they are the fittings in the DS header or behind the intake for the passenger side ) Go bad they allow exhaust/moisture to get into the air pump and build up enough water to freeze the pump blades in freezing weather, which burns out the motor.
Check that the air pump is running when the car is first started. If it's not:
A) unplug the harness from the pump, and reset the ECM.
B) Peplace the wire ( I think it's white? ). with a heavier gauge. I think there is/was a TSN on this.

mine hisses every time i open the cap. and i have a gas smell after driving the car for a long perio of time.
i always think that theres a cobra i didnt kill next to me
i guess i need a vented cap.

Ok... anyway, My air pump doesnt work, as pampered Z mentioned. However, Ive got 3 wires, two red, one black, coming from the Pump. Asuming I just plug the line under the TB for the evap, I may still get a egr issue seeing as though the pump operats the egr.
So my next question regarding a new jumper wire.
which lead should I jump on the harness? and could I tap the other end into wires from the AIR relay, and If so... which one should I jump from?

Naw, Dont bother, I traced the lines myself, all were fine, But took your advice anyway, creating a jumper from the air pump solenoid, to the pump, and a fuse blew. So.. I created a direct line from the air pump to a known good 12v+, and all I made were sparks. The pump was seized up. $200+ for the GM part. Ouch.
