I was curious.... Would a bad(clogged) carbon canister make our cars idle like crap? I was just in the pontoon the other day and thought my charcoal canister seemed heavy. you know, the heaviness that a used oil filter might have. Maybe they just weighed that much from the factory I don’t know... Just got me to thinking....
Curious what everyone thinks on this one..
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

A problem with the canister doesn't seem to have any effect on the actual running of the car. It would cause gasoline fumes. Check the hose coming out of the bottom of the canister, they get plugged up from insects and there is a filter you can replace by pulling the bottom off.
