It might be the carbon canister assembly. They're electronically controlled and in a black box type mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, Yes it does have hoses as well as an electrical connection. Am I right in thinking it turns gasoline vapor back to liquid? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a storage system for the vapor. The ECU controls the purge solenoid and opens it so the vapor can be drawn into the engine. That's why you don't want to overfill your tank. You can get liquid gas into the canister assy and mess things up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
