What are the steps involved to remove this? Is this correct?

1- Remove plastic/rubber lines from Intake

2- Remove Line from Intake to Canister

3- Remove Canister

4- Program Out the Purge (is this part of the program??)

5- Remove All Associated Accessories & Wiring

6- Cap Off Intake Ports (Do I need to do this??)



Should I do this? I know about the gas smell, I just want a cleaner looking engine compartment. Has anyone ever done this?

 

Has no one removed this?

 

What is it??? Are you talking about the EGR?

 

If you just want to clean up the engine compartment, you don't have to remove the charcoal canister (since it is located behind the LR wheel).

 

In fact, there are several tubes and electrical devices that are connected with the charcoal canister. Upon removal, there would be less in the "eye-sore" category with all that crap there...

Now, has anyone actually done this?

 

Does removing just the solenoid and lines throw any codes or cause any unforseen problems?

 

Yes the computer will throw a diagnostic code and you will have to deal with the fuel smell, because fumes from the gas tank will have nowhere to go.

 

So can you program that out? Meaning can I delete the part that would throw a code if I took the canister off?

 

The EVAP code can be programmed out.

 

Thanks!!
