- Did your car recently failed smog, or perhaps you're getting evap codes? The problem may be due to a bad and clogged charcoal canister.

Thank you for taking the time to do all your videos. Two of them have helped me out. Didn’t have to spend big money at a machine shop.
Thank you. I have 2 of the symptoms full-time and one of them intermittently. And now I know why you've saved me a lot of aggravation
Thank you. You saved me money from taking it to the dealership to have it checked out 🙌
Thank you. Yes definitely that’s what’s going on. I over filled my tank trying to get as much gas in there as I could and ever since then my truck hesitates to take of. I am hoping to be able to fix this my self.
Thank you for explaining how this charcoal fuel filter canister works. I saw mine hanging down and took it in for repair. Guy asked if I ran over something. Funny because I had just traveled over those raggedy New York highways... He also said it was hanging on by a zip tie, with. Hadn't noticed any fuel odor, so don't think it was cracked. The bracket holding it up was "cracked".
Wwwww2
Thank you so much man I subscribed because you were the only person to point this out!!
Yes I noticed more gas consumption and check engine comes on when the vehicle hesitated to start. Thanks for the advice.
THATS WHY THE GAS NOZZLE ALWAYS GOES OFF man that was irritating the HELL out of me lol. Great video man!
Thank you so much for explaining how this really simple system works. Causes so many problems and unfortunately, a lot of people get taken to the cleaners when they go to an auto mechanic. I like to do my own work and feel satisfied when I figure it out I hope I figure this out. Lol.
Thanks bud appreciate it I've narrowed down my assumption to the gas pump constantly shutting off when pumping to the charcoal cannister and the cannister purge valve
That's awesome dude. Thanks for sharing so quickly and to the point. Mine looks like crap and the hoses are old so it might be time.
Yes! I found this super informative and very well explained. You are great. Thank you!!!
Thank you sir, I had several issues, one was the fuel pump (I ran it bone dry one day when I was doing work, didn't notice the low fuel light) then like you said, the pump handle kept tripping off) After filling the tank up, it wouldn't start. I'll be pulling the evap canister today!
Well worth viewing. Subscribed.
Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for making this video!
Learning is always useful! Thanks
Thanks bro you were a big help
Thank you that last one been happening to me for years I think I’ve figured it out
Thank you so much. You are awesome, very informative
Thanks, great detail. I bought a cheap smoke machine n saw a leak near the canister. I've been getting P 0172 too rich
Thank you for being a great help!!
This is amazing. Thank you.
Tanks for all that info😊
Excellent video - many thanks
Great video thanks
my 06 corolla has 6 fault codes,,,wont pass emmisions,,and i cant pump gas into it unless very slow,,,great video---
Great info. Thanks
Excellent info! Nicely presented. I enjoy having all that information in a nice reference bundle like that.
Thanks
Your channel should have 2 million subscribers, by the way Sir if at all possible may I request a topic regarding pre ignition or pre detonation that causes that light pinging sound during acceleration and how to fix it? Thanks Sir
That's usually ignition timing.
Your awesome bro.
Nice and informative, thanks.
Thanks, very useful.
Good information!!!
Thank you😊
New subscriber, thank you!
Thanks for the video. I have been trying to tell people what there problem might be. But no one wants to listen. After I show them this video maybe they might listen to. Oh yeah most or should I say all of them what I think there car problems are I tell them what I think and they always seem to reply that I don't know what I am talking about. So why ask for my opinion in the first place? Oh yeah 👍 great advice.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for the video it helps
great job mate. :-)
Very useful
Great Info 👍🏽 Thanks
Thanks also there is foul smell coming out of the exhaust
I have a 98 pathfinder and my car is experiencing some symptoms where I’ll step on the gas and it’ll shift into 1st and 2nd but it hit the rev limiter shifting into 3rd. I’ve replaced the evap solenoid due to one of the hoses having carbon deposit built it up in it. Should I then replace the vent solenoid after emptying out my charcoal canister?
If you want to smoke test your EVAP lines, do you do it from the service port? And do you have to pull any other hose off for venting so the smoke can get down the line?
Had a po448 and 447 on my 2006 Subaru sti. Big pita fiquring out the fix.
Nice Vid.I Have Oderless Throat burning fumes in my honda accord 21.could it be a clogged evap?!thanks
Good info, I have a 06 titan with check engine on? I changed code sensor p0057 and I changed purge valve p0047 that code never came back. But 02 sensor one did ? Wierd because shop fixed that 02 sensor what can be the cause should I take truck back to them ??
Mine shows a small evap leak. Tried changing the canister, not it. Very hard to find small leak.
I have a 2012 Honda Civic LX and I'm getting a p420 code and an EVAP code. I'd like to buy just a cheap cat to get me by because I plan on buying a new car after 2 years. Do you think if I buy an aftermarket cheap eBay cat it'll pass emissions as long as I fix the EVAP code as well
I noticed my 2002 toyota 4runner wouldn't fill up at the pump without me holding the trigger down to fill...thanks for this video. I'm gonna check out my charcoal filter asap.
Hi I have a question I have a 01 4runner the same issue when I fill gas it shuts off. Was it the canister?
@joel87555 I changed the gas cap, and it worked fine. But I'm waiting for the computer to reset and see if it fixed it. Lmk how yours goes..
@@day1fishing603 well I have the same issue but I changed the gas cap two years ago and its oem. I called the dealership but they said I should have them inspect it because it can be the filler neck
I had the same problem on a 2006 Ford. It was the fuel tank purge valve. It was stuck closed. When the engine was turned off the valve was supposed to open so the fumes could travel to the charcoal canister and be stored so they could be burned off when the engine is started and running. When it was stuck closed the fumes created when filling the tank had nowhere to go. The gas pump would shut off. The only way to get gas into the tank was you had to hold the handle on the nozzle. Also when the tank reached full fuel would be forced up and out of the filler neck. I changed the valve sensor, and that cured the problem.
Filled up my 2011 Kluger /Highlander today and that happened to me, the fuel nozzle kept clicking off every 2 seconds, what do you recommend i do?, if left will it get to the stage were i won't be able to put fuel in it at all?
I’m replacing mine because of the small and large leak detected ..question should I reset code or just let the computer reset itself after I replace it 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7
Your tha man bro.!!
I wondering if a hard to fill up gas tank could be the the leak detect leak pump or switch? and not the canister I have a P4149 switch pressure
Hello, i have a little bit of fuel smell when i start-up the car, now when i put my car to obd diagnostic and i go under "charcoal valve" the valve opens and closes every second, should valve work like that or not?
Ty
My car is giving off a strong propane gas smell when running. Would has vapors change their smell after interacting with the charcoal?
Hello. I have a 06 ram 1500 and recently i can smell raw gas near the drivers side rear wheel well after i drive it home and park it. I looked under it and there were no leaks that i could see. I tried to look on top of the gas tank as best i could. I didnt see any obvious leaks but really could not see well. I looked at the evap csnister ans hoses. All looked ok and i didnt detect any gas odor around the canister. I could see the fuel pump on top of the tank and therd was another device up there but i dont know what it is. No check engine light. Any ideas.
Also car does not start after gas fill, just turns... p0441 and running lean? Help!!!
Hi exactly that is my car problem can you recommend place to repair my iam in los Angeles thanks
Mercedez benz e350 2009
Is the charcoal filter similar to a catalytic converter in diesel engines?
thank you!! i have two symtomps .1 smell gas inside and out of my car 2. bad mpg
You solved that problems? How?
Great I fo my guy tyvm
Question for you. I only get the check engine light when I park on the fourth floor of were I work. P0442. I have changed the purge valve and the vent valve too. If I drive on level road it never comes on. Only comes on when it’s parked on elevated fourth floor. You have anything for me. Haha
Would this be something that makes my car not turn on after getting gas any other day it turns on just fine, only after getting gas
I only get occasional gas smell. No filling shut off, Mileage is OK. Replaced filler assembly, no luck. Mine is capless
If your charcoal filter is clogged does it increase your fuel line pressure??
YOU DA MAN BRA I STAMP EVERYTHING U SAID ANSWERED MY QUESTION ILL PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR YOU TO BE MY MECHANIC 💫💫💫
My 2010 grand cherokee gives me a purge valve can and i switched it already and it keeps giving me the same code
My s550 mustang 3.7 canister is likely bad due to age of 8 years old. And I been getting rich conditions and some lean conditions and the car would shake after getting gas as well.
P1447 I couldn’t find the issue on 98 maxima , I need help please
It does not have to be the canister it's self that cause gas to smell I just had this problem and it was my vent solenoid that's located on the canister .
What about having a misfire on cylinder 3?
Sounds like what I have. Thanks.
I just recently purchased a brand new 2023 Rav4 and OVERFILLED my gas tank twice out of ignorance obviously. That's how recent I've purchased the vehicle.
I'm nuts with this thing and with doing things RIGHT. Do you think ANY damage could have been done to the system with just TWO times?
No but stop overfilling the tank.
Hi i have a hyundai accent 2007 and im having problems starting the car after i put gasolina, i put new the gas cap, vapor canister purge valve, which is next to the throttle, the other valve that is on the valve cover and also the oone located next to the canister and still having problems, let me know what can it be, it's driving me crazy. Thanks and great video
Was it your fuel filter
All good, except: "In California, 2000 and newer model year vehicles will need all emission monitors in READY or COMPLETE status with the exception of the EVAP monitor. An incomplete evaporative monitor will not cause a smog check failure. The Bureau of Automotive Repairs has reduced the number of allowable incomplete OBD II readiness monitors for both the new BAR-OIS smog inspection system and the BAR-97 smog inspections systems, however the EVAP monitor is the one monitor that is still allowed to remain Not Ready and will not cause a smog test failure." However: In the real world, Smog Inspection businesses are highly monitored by the State, and if they don't "fail" a certain percentage of vehicles, the State will send in "test" vehicles to try and bust the Smog station for illegally passing vehicles that have "something" wrong, which could be as simple as a disconnected hose that would automatically "fail" a "visual" inspection as no repairs or modifications are allowed. Here's another "trick" to passing smog: When you go in, ask the Smog station to "check the readiness monitors to be sure the car is ready to be smogged." They will 100% check the monitors anyway, usually before they even do a visual they will hook up their scan tool and see if there are any codes or Check Engine Lights, an automatic fail.
But, if you ask them to check for "readiness" first, then they cannot fail you if your car is not ready, because you asked them to check BEFORE they started any test procedures. If you don't ask, and they test to see the readiness monitors are not ready, then it's an automatic fail. Again, if they were to do this simple courtesy for every customer, then a large percentage of fails would not be sent away with an automatic fail. Then, the percentage of passes would be abnormally high, and that smog station would get flagged by California's Bureau of Automotive Repairs (BAR) and they'd start sending in test vehicles to bust the station.
Often, the Smog station will tell people to 'drive 50 miles' or some such advice to 'clear' the monitors. However, there are many 'drive cycle procedures' that one might follow that could clear and ready the system in under ten or twenty miles. I have gone to smog's that the Evap was not clear, and have driven over 200 miles and it still doesn't clear, despite doing very rigid adherence to a drive-cycle procedure. The Evap can literally go 500 miles and still not clear. Some unethical stations will tell you that the car 'failed' if the Evap is not ready. But, it doesn't have to be for certain years and types of cars.
BTW: I've used Catyclean with some success, including helping my MPG increase as well as helping pass smog. Having sold about 100 used cars in the last five years, I"ve had plenty of smogs. Usually, you want to go in when the car is nice and hot, having driven about 20 miles or so before the smog, and tuned up the car and be sure you hook up everything as it should be. For example, leaving a vacuum hose off the airbox will be an automatic visual fail. For all that smog tech knows, you are from the BAR and trying to bust them for simply helping out someone by saying, "Hey, looks like you left your vacuum hose off."
When I was a kid, back in the 1970's, it was common to see cars going down the road leaving so much smog that you could not see across the street after they drove by. So, it is an important thing to help with the air quality. But, three are definitely some smog places that lie to people and say that the car is not ready when all it is is the Evap, and they tell the person to go out and drive, which is not at all guaranteed to clear an evap. I've personally put over 1,000 miles on a car and the Evap doesn't clear.
Have none of the sign, light still on, so what it could be? Please
Hello, I’ve taken my 02 GMC sierra 1500 5.3L truck to different auto parts stores to check why my engine light keeps going on and off. They all gave me a P0443 code. They say it’s the canister purge valve. I have replaced it 3 times with new ones but, the engine light still goes on and off. What else do you recommend me to do? 🤔
Did you figure out ?
Can you drive with out the charcoal canister??
Twenty thirteen escalade changed purge valve vent sylanoid And vapor charcoal canister and I still can't pump gas without it keep stopping
Does the engine shake too?
Hello Auto repairs, i am using the same Lexus RX300, 1999 model engine 1MZFE. the accident was made by swap/connecting the Vacuum Surge Tank pipe to the water outlet there just below it. The system was filled with water until the water comes out at The Charcoal Canister through the Air Drain Horse. We have tried to remove the water by sucking and blowing through the pipes and even put the new service kit since we found some plugs socked in water. but still the car wont start but cranks. what advice can you give sir
It seems like water made its way into the combustion chamber. Remove all spark plugs, remove water from the combustion chamber and next conduct a compression test. Hopefully the engine didn't hydrolock and caused mechanical damage.
Will this prevent my car from starting
On my 98 accord, I got an evap code and my fuel light comes on every now and then with plenty of fuel in it. I also smell fuel sometimes when I get out . Could this be my problem also?
Hi very informative video. I have a 2016 Corolla with strong fuel smell coming from AC vents first 1-2 min after being started in morning, then clear normal air and no engine codes. Any idea of what could be my issue?
A leaking heater core, you are smelling coolant
@@kellismith4329 Hi, thanks for the comment I think that is a very possible problem.
What if I bypass the charcoal canister😮. I live in Florida where we don't have emmision testing nor do we need to deal with safety stickers 😅
😀
I realize I had a bad charcoal canister when I found charcoal in the carburetor on a pre fuel injection vehicle.
Hi, so my check engine light just came on & the dealer said it was the evap canister. How do I know if this can be fixed or if I need a whole new canister? This is an expensive part.
I’ve had this code for a while come and go on my 06 Jeep WK since I bought it maybe 3 years ago. I’ve spent $5k in repairs and/or parts
I’ve replaced the gas cap multiple times. I also need to replace my thermostat, it’s not reaching operating temperature , on the cold side.
Let’s just say if you prolong an Evap code and/or another engine related problem..you’ll encounter numerous problems. Of course gas smells, but things such as weird noises and heavy rough idle and recently stalling… I’m going to get my Evap system checked soon, I believe it may be something associated with the canister, as I’ve replaced the purge valve over a year ago
I have some other symptoms. My gas gauge is stuck at 3/4 (it goes to zero when I turn off the car). I have bad smell of gas inside. It's worse when the car is off. What could it be, is it sending unit or EVAP system, or both? My fuel pump or fuel regulator are not cracked at top.
I bet that is your cluster, the instrument window behind your steering wheel.
Does a damaged canister affect acceleration? I recently changed my Gas pump and filter and it’s still failing to accelerate when I press the gas pedal
Fuel pressure regulator.
Wheres your shop? Thanks
This is great. I have the P0455 issue on my 2007 Tahoe. Will replace it soon. Would this also cause my acceleration to have a problem? When it's warm outside, the truck seems to bog down and refuse to accelerate. I'll have it floored and there'll be little to no acceleration. It doesn't feel like it's flooded, just won't accelerate. If I back off the throttle a little and accelerate slowly it will then accelerate "ok". Not a major issue, but concerning when trying to accelerate at a stop light or trying to merge onto a highway.
Fortunately it's not the transmission - it's not revving high, it's just not acceleration. (EDIT) Forgot to mention it seems to stick at about 1500 RPM when it's doing this.
How did that turn out because my 2016 tucson is doing the exact same thing
@@krasmurdokI haven’t gotten around to it yet. Other priorities have gotten in the way 😂
@@m1cajah understood
@@krasmurdok it might also be your throttle position sensor or the (accelerator) pedal position sensor...and I'd lean toward the pedal position sensor. Pretty easy fix. What's happening in my case (I just learned) is mine is going into "limp mode" and limiting my throttle revs (I'm maxed at 1500 rpm) and keeping me at 2nd or 3rd gear. Should take about 20 minutes max to replace it. I just ordered the part.
How about no CEL, no DTCs, no driving symptoms, but have a yellow light on the code reader and a flashing EVA that won’t reset. I’ve inspected the canister and all of the hose connections for leaks and removed and cleaned the foam filter inside the canister.
Every now and then after I’ve been driving and shut the car off and restart it, I get a gurgling pulsating sound coming from the passenger side, and if I pop the hood and squeeze the line going from the purge solenoid to the intake, the gurgling stops until I unpinch it, no codes no CEL, I do have crappy gas mileage and smell super rich gas fumes, starts fine runs fine, it just started doing this
If you don’t mind there’s a video here on YT titled “Infiniti G35 “weird noise” and thats exactly the sound I have
I have a 2004 Acura RL. Will a failed evap canister cause the car to cut out and or not start?
Check your purge valve
Can I drill a hole in the gas cap to vent temporarily? Truck keeps going into reduced power mode. Won't have the money till 2 days from now to fix it. Sucks air when I remove gas cap.
How do we delete this from the system?
Can this cause my tank to leak fuel
