System Inspection

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (Check for leaks and clogging) - except evaporative emission canister
1. If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or damaged, a fuel vapor mixture escapes into the atmosphere causing excessive emissions. Disconnect the line at both ends, and blow it clean with compressed air. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap from the fuel tank filler tube and check to see if there is evidence that the packing makes improper contact to the fuel tank filler tube.
2. The fuel tank pressure control valve installed on the vapor line should be checked for correct operation.
