HEY GUYS I'M NEW TO THE MR2 T WORLD AND WAS WONDERING WHAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER DOES AND WHAT ITS USED FOR... AND WHETHER OR NOT I REALLY HAVE TO HAVE IT...THANKS

If only there was some kind of online reference which explained all the car's systems, perhaps the Toyota factory repair manual...and what if it were stickied? Man, that would be cool.

Don't use all caps if you want polite answers...and check the stickies!

While I probably should ignore your use of sarcasm, and recognize that often, by its very nature, sarcasm is somewhat demeaning, I still find myself compelled to acknowledge such excellent use.

Thank you. I try to be polite...but whenever I read all caps I'm screaming it in my head and it puts me on guard.

Canister will filtered your gas fumes and routed back to your intake manifold its an emission device

ahh thanks to all of you...and thanks for the sarcasam...and sorry for using caps...in my company we send tons of emails to eachother for processing reasons...its a requirment to use caps cause its easier to read...my bad...

I'm the same way, and the majority of the time I'm on here is at work. We have to note everything in all caps, you just have to try to notice when you are posting if you have left the caps on, and take it off. lol.

As said above, it is purely emissions related and just filters the vented air from the gas tank.

It can easily be removed and bypassed, making for a cleaner engine bay.

I did it and commented on doing it in this thread:
