Pretty innovative solution. I can't believe how hard Mazda made it to replace this part. Dropping the subframe is a major drag if you're working without a lift. It would have been great if Mazda had installed a handy access panel similar to the one under the back seat for access to the fuel pump. Still debugging P0442 but if it's my vent solenoid I think I'll copy your approach. I'd love to see a better close-up after hole is cut to see orientation of part. It's hard to tell how difficult it was to remove nuts & hoses. Thanks for posting!
How did u know this was the problem? I also have the p442 and p455 on my car but i have seen people trying to fix the problem in the engine bay. Can it be a leak in the hose all the way to this canister ?

Unfortunately, I don't have any closer shots of the bolts and their locations, sorry! Thank for watching!
I probably won't buy another Mazda because of their idiotic engineering ... unsure who to blame, Mazda or Ford
the camry charcoal canister is in the engine bay (the old school gen 3 and 4 ones). Wonder Why manufacturers would do this shit on newer cars
Did this today. It works. Thanks for the video. I cut it 6 inches. Got to be careful with the top cut because the wiring harness is right there.
Very innovative... Almost worth leaving it as an access pannel
Dude.. im totally doing this.. I hate this fucking car so much for this exact reason
omg thank you
getting my grinder rn
I'm no expert but I believe there is a access pannel on the subframe
Hacky indeed!

The leak could be anywhere, to determine where it's leaking you'd have to smoke test the EVAP system.
Can I drive my car without a purge valve?
If I can, will the check engine light still be on?
Ever figure it out???
@@anthonylazzaro257you can
YES ! they really went out of their way to increase cost of ownership with the stupid placement of this thing. CHOP CHOP.
Dont make videos if u cant do it right thats so hack people watch this that dont know what there doing 6 bolts drop the subframe
😂
lol the lazy way
