![]() That's the evaporative emissions line that goes to the charcoal canister. I don't know if you can just plug it up or not. Our fuel caps are vented but since it is fuel vapor related, I will not offer any advice in regards to what to do about it. I still have my canister hooked up.

![]() Jim is a wise man. I'm somewhat of a fool. You can cap it without any ill effects to your cars performance, but a canister is what you should use. They don't rob any power at all, yet some people feel they must remove them. I never understood that. Keep in mind that those fumes would be burned in your engine if you had a properly functioning charcoal canister installed.

![]() Thanks for the honesty and advice guys. Do you think the cannister would help my engine get started? If not, I'd like to wait until I actually get going before I drop what little $$ I got left on that cannister purge system. I'm sure I'll have a check engine light on now :-)
