What's an Evap Canister?

EVAP Canister:
The EVAP canister houses 1-2 pounds of activated charcoal that acts like a sponge by absorbing and storing fuel vapors until the purge valve opens and allows the vacuum of the engine intake to siphon the fuel vapors from the charcoal into the engine intake manifold.

What happens when EVAP canister goes bad?

A damaged EVAP canister is bound to cause poor engine performance. Your engine will begin to have a less effective operation, producing a low power for high acceleration. This might cause your vehicle to have a sluggish movement, even as you apply pressure on your gas pedal.

What do EVAP canisters do?

The canister purge valve is a vital part of the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP). The EVAP system seals the fuel system of your vehicle to prevent harmful fuel vapors from entering the environment.
