Somebody has messed around with the charcoal canister in my car. I found it dangling in the engine bay like a dead fish. But in the process of trying to fix everything, I found a line, a vacuum line, I think that runs from the air filter, then splits and continues towards the charcoal canister area dangling in the wind. It's one of those white lines with a black elbow attached at the end. I looked around for a hole to plug it into and found one in a part just under the battery. What the heck is that part? Can't find it in the manual! There are 2 nipples coming out of it pointed slanted towards the front of the car, the top one has a connection, so I plugged it into the bottom one. Started the car and it sounded great at first, then gassed itself up to and pass redline in 1 sec. Shit. Turned off the engine and unplugged the line. What is that part?? And where does this line go??

Don't know what the line is, but I think the part under the battery is part of the cruise control. There are a couple of ports (if memory serves) that look as if they should have vacuum lines going to them, but do not. I think they are vents. That would explain why the motor reved up.

thats fucked up. did it hit the rev limiter and stall or what?

Hello all.

The part is the criuse control module.

The part under the battery tray is the cruise control vacuum pump. Should have 1 black hose conected to the black nipple. The white nipple is a vent. What you did was to conect manifold vacuum to the vent, and actuated the cruise. look on the plastic panel on top of the fan shroud. There are a couple of solenoids that control evap and egr. The egr controler gets a white hose from the manifold, and a yellow hose back out to the egr valve. The solenoid hes white and yellow paint dots at the appropriate nipples.
