First, apparently 2004 MY are configured differently from earlier ones and don't follow the flow diagram ( at least mechanically) in the manual. There is an additional component well forward in the wheel well - and that appears to be where the purge line terminates, before routing back to the charcoal canister.
Anyway, i finally seemed to have it figured out, disconnected that purge line, and blew using a compressor back through it. I didn't have a rubber conical seat, so i could not make a good seal, but not all that much air was backing up and getting around my hand, so SOME of it must have been continuing through the line - meaning it is not completely blocked. Unclear how this would get blocked anyway....
Put it all back together (ps: yes lubrication helps the rivets, live and learn). I still have the code and the CEL - but as i recall many CELs must be shut off with an OBD-2 device/PIWIS (or the doohickey i just bought from Pedro...). Does anyone know if that is the case? Or, since i still have the code and the active CEL, does that mean I failed to effect the repair?
TIA,
Grant
ps: the CEL on my other car (track car, street legal, 2000 S) seems to have reset itself over the winter (O2 warm up efficiency below threshold?) - in other words, old age.
You can erase the CEL ... Pedro (Odessa, FL) - 8 years ago |
