results are in, and (drumroll please).................... a defective carbon cannister!!??!



yeah.......i don't know WHAT THE HELL this is...but whoever said emissions related was right on the money........

Now the bad news.... they replaced this defective cannister, but the car will not 'ready" itself, so there is some other problem they are trying to find.....

They are keeping the car until tomorrow to figure it out....

Good news.... they are paying for my rental !!!! (Woohooo ... Ford Taurus!!!)

Where is this carbon canister? Is this potentially related to overfilling the gas?

It's part of the fuel system, it's the doohickey marked "7" in the diagram.

I think those can get "damaged" if you overfill your gas. What do you think Rondog? Do you overpump your fuel?

How do you overpump your fuel? Do you mean if it comes out of the neck? I have a hole in the gas access door that drains off any spare fuel.
