Yup, just as i was doing final prep to my bay (final wipe w/ mineral spirits, so nothing rough) before throwing down my first primer coat.. i tapped the charcoal canister's return line (wiping the fire wall down) and noticed it move... ALLOT!!! i gave it a little tug to try and ease my suspicions, but the damn thing was broken loose a bit farther back.. Damn it.. not what i needed..
So here is the question.. The car is a 95 7AFE OBDI car. It will see boost in the future (about a year, less if i can afford the parts sooner, and the down time. ) The car will most likely NEVER see a an inspection ever again, (registered in western MD, and may get registered in AL (no emissions)) also, i am fairly sure that to replace this hard line i would have to drop the tank (i think... plz correct me if i'm wrong here.) and at this point i do not want to get into de-rusting the rear end.. im missing work right now, and trying to get this car back on the road ASAP.. so with all of that.. the question is.. do i even NEED to have this system on the car? i know that the OBDII cars will throw a CEL, and that there are elevated chances for detonation.... but what about on my OBDI 7AFE? can i just remove this crap clutter from my bay, and the now broken system and not have any negative side effects (other than the slight increase in emissions) as in no CEL, or other crap to deal with? and just plate up the EGR port on the mani and the head? -------------------- |

update!!!!
so im in the process of dropping my motor in and last thing i had to do was crawl under the car and patch this line... well guess what?!?!?!? it was never broken!!! it was apparently the drain line that went under the car, and the end of it was severely corroded.. just a hard line going from the bottom of the can to under the car to drain.. EFFING RETARDED now to re install all the guards and crap and get back to the install.. ![]() -------------------- |
