Emissions failure, I think - 8/20/2008 9:00:45 AM    sir otto   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/1/2007 Status: offline My truck threw a code that said TOTAL EVAP STYSTEM FAILURE. I am looking at the charcoal canister, does anybody have any experience with this. What is the usual culprit for the code? Sorry I forgot to write down the number. The truck has 190k on the clock and to my knowledge it is the original canister. Any help would be great. Thanks Post #: 1

Is this the same problem you had back in February of 2007 and didn''t respond back to my questions posed back then? < Message edited by swartlkk -- 8/20/2008 9:04:53 AM > _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to sir otto) Post #: 2

I was out of country for awhile and I am now getting back to my dear old truck. I will pull the code again tonight. Wow thats awesome that you remembered me. (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 3

RE: Emissions failure, I think - 8/21/2008 12:39:45 PM    sir otto   Posts: 4 Joined: 2/1/2007 Status: offline I fixed it I think. I replaced all the vacuum lines I could get to last, which sucks by the way, and cleaned my EGR replaced the charcoal canister, gas cap PCV and fuel filter. The truck is running awesome. I will wait a few days before I say that it is fixed. Swartlkk read that you have a 70 Chevelle. My first car was at 68 Chevelle Malibu that we made into a nice car. Pulled the strait 6 flopped in a 396, AT, DART heads and 4/11 Detroit Locker. Way to much fun for a sixteen year old. Let me know your progress. (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 5

As far as progress, its been slow.  Fire training and work are taking up quite a bit of my time. _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to sir otto) Post #: 6
