EvaporatorCanister (2005-12-04 04:22:08)

This page is about how to control an evaporator canister - sometimes called as charcoal purge canister

The evaporator canister is ment as a temporary storage for gases from the fuel tank, instead of releasing them to atmosphere.

A simple valve controlled by GenBoard releases the gases to the intake given some conditions are met.

Maybe with WBO2 closed loop control the condition becomes very simple.

Since we haven't seen much research/feedback on this (anyone want to contribute links or experience?) ...

I plan to install a solenoid to suck out the evaporator canister from time to time, using the same condition as for the variable intake with MembersPage/MarcellGal/EngineSwap/AirFeed : 1500..3000 RPM, 80..101kPa MAP. Actually planning to use same ECM output (a FET), but different solenoid (the 2 solenoid connected in parallel electronically).

Fero (or someone else), can you collect info about valve control that I believe was collected before but misplaced?

Hooked up the scan tool to an 01 civic, here is what I get.

I can do more in depth testing if needed.
