My truck threw TEN codes this morning.

I mentioned this before but will repeat. before you spent any money clean Charcoal Air filter. If this filter is clogged you will get random errors and yes bad fuel mileage will follow.

 

EVAP canister is emissions BS that shouldn't affect how your car runs.

 

Where can I find this filter you speak of

 

Have you ever seen me cruzing around? youre the first TW member ive heard of down here!

 

I send you PM Taco'09 just cleaned his and it was dirty too. I would start with that before spending any money. Check al lthe hoses while you under there.

 

BlueT is correct about this.

I was doing the rear differential breather mod and dropped the spare tire for more room. There staring at me was that filter next to the charcoal canister. I PMd BlueT with a couple of questions about the filter and ended up taking it off and blowing air both directions through its two ports.

WOW! What a dust bowl. I filled the atmosphere in my garage with all the dust collected in that thing. Don't spend big money on a charcoal canister until you check out whether that filter is restricted/full of dust. Hats off to BlueT. Check the hoses too.

 

Thank you! Time to check this tomorrow! Mine is throwing the codes when cold...

 

But it will.

Overfilling the tank will cause fuel to contaminate the charcoal canister.
When the evap system opens the purge valve, rather than drawing vapor from the canister into the intake, it will draw raw fuel, causing it to run rich, which will generate additional codes and impact mileage.

 

I crept on your taco build thread. Dont think i have seem your ride around. Ive got a swb taco with blacked out moto 951s and a 5' firestik in the bed.

 

Hey RJ any solution yet? Still throwing mine...

 

Nope, Mine came back on too. My guess would just be put a new canister in there. Gonna be hard for me because Im going to have to drop the tank cause I am certainly not going to cut out my bed cage!

 

Do you have a pic of said filter? I'm under here right now and don't see any filter

 

Run it dry and use a floor jack with 2x6 to lower it out.

Im gonna try to clean the filter that was mentioned above...

 

I would do the same if I knew where said filter was

 

damn you guys! now i want to go clean this filter too.

 

Right?! So where is this infamous filter

 

its in the stock intake box

 

Thats a different one. I ripped mine out. We are talking about a canister.

 

Did you got my link I sent you. It shows location of the filter. I dont have picture just look at the document.

 

You dont need to remove the tank to clean Charcoal filter.
Sendign you pdf that shows location of it. Its attached to Charcoal Canister which is next to tank.

Np Sir
That should save tons of money for people. Many think its overfilling of the tank, but I think overfilling only dumps fuel to charcoal if that charcoal filter is clogged.
