INSPECTION OF FUEL VAPOR LINES,
FUEL TANK AND TANK CAP
1.
VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2.
VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK
Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.

VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP
Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
INSPECTION OF CHARCOAL CANISTER
1.
REMOVE CHARCOAL CANISTER
(a) Disconnect the following hoses:
(1) Vacuum hose (from VSV) from charcoal canister
(2) EVAP hose from charcoal canister
(b) Disconnect the grommet on the check valve from the
bracket, and remove the charcoal canister.
(c) Remove the check valve from the hose end on the
charcoal canister.
2.
VISUALLY INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
Look for cracks or damage.
3. CHECK FOR CLOGGED FILTER AND STUCK CHECK
VALVE
(a) Using low pressure compressed air, blow into port A and
check that air flows without resistance from the other
ports.
(b) Blow into port B and check that air does not flow from the
other ports.
If a problem is found, replace the charcoal canister.

CLEAN FILTER IN CANISTER
Clean the filter by blowing 294 kPa (3 kgf/cm2, 43 psi) of com-
pressed air into port A while holding port B closed.
NOTICE:
•
Do not attempt to wash the canister.
•
No activated carbon should come out.
5.
REINSTALL CHARCOAL CANISTER
HINT: Install the check valve with black port facing the char-
coal canister side.
(a) Install the check valve to the hose end on the charcoal
canister.
(b) Install the charcoal canister.
(c) Install the grommet on the check valve to the bracket.
(d) Connect the following hoses:
(1) Vacuum hose (from VSV) to charcoal canister
(2) EVAP hose to charcoal canister

INSPECTION OF VSV
1.
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF
BATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ”LOCK” position and the negative (–) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.

connector
(b) Remove the bolt holding the intake air connector to the
cylinder head cover.
(c) Loosen the two hose clamps.
(d) Disconnect the intake air connector from the throttle
body and air cleaner hose, and remove the intake air
connector.
3. REMOVE
VSV
(a) Disconnect the VSV connector.
(b) Disconnect the following hoses:
(1) Vacuum hose (from vacuum pipe) from VSV
