trtturbo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Has anyone taken the charcoal canister and the other smog stuff that clutters up the drivers front fender area? If so, any issues? Run the same; better? I dont have any issue with getting an inspection sticker and would love to clean it up some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I unplugged mine and capped all the lines to it. Runs about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtturbo Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 did you take everything out, or just uplug it. I wanted to take it all out. It would make it much cleaner looking under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 You need the manifolds and such due to backpressure needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Dunno how 88 did it, but I tried removing the charcoal canister and capped the lines and had a vacuum problem nightmare. Must've goofed up somewhere. I did however remove all the AIV stuff without a hitch. Edited April 26, 2008 by jj big shoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtturbo Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 AIV? Air injection valve? Is that the big solonoid looking thing in front of the canister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 air idle valve and yea it should be a solenoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooled Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I removed both the charcoal canister and EGR system from my 93. Haven't had any problems at all, and it was nice to get rid of some of those vacuum lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtturbo Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well, I took it all off. The AIV thing fell apart when I took it out. I'm sure it wasnt doing me any good in the condition it was it. It sure looks cleaner too; lots more room. Seems to run just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
