recent went to single conversion/stock MAF, everything worked fine except I noticed a vacuum leak at the carbon canister on the passenger firewall. there are 3 lines on the canister, the 2 thick hoses I'm assuming are for fuel vapor and the 1 more regular hose for vacuum.
when I put my ear near the nipple on the canister that takes in the vacuum I can hear the air leaking badly and vacuum reads about 10-12" Hg and the car has a shaky idle. so next I disconnected the vacuum hose from the canister and plugged it with a bolt and idle went up to the normal 17" Hg and idle smoothed out back to stock. so obviously the leak has to be somewhere within/on the canister.
could I simply remove the whole canister, loop the fuel vapor lines and plug that vacuum line? will this affect anything major? thanks for any suggestions
