What the hell is the charcole canister and why is it pissing gas out from this random bottom tube that doesnt connect to anything? Just tried starting engioen ad I have 3 problems, leaking gas from that canister, random oil leak on new engine and coolant leak on turbos.... HELP ME, LOOSING SANITY QUICKLY! need to figure out why it wont start. I figure it is not startin becasue all the fuel is beig pissed out before it can reach the engine, and why do I have an oil eak on the left side of the engie, spark plug side. The coolant and the turbos I already figured out where and why just need help with this nowww....

 

The charcol cannister is there to handle the gas fumes while the car is not under load.

Did this just start happening or did you just put the engine in the car?

 

JUST PUT THE ENGINE INTO THE CAR! I suspect that my oil pan gasket maybe actually cracked. And I know I can repair the turbo coolant leak so that is not a problem of any sort.

 

Sounds like you have some fuel lines mixed up. Check to make sure you have the three fuel lines that connect onto the bracket for the rats nest correct.

 

You probably have the fuel lines plumbed in incorrectly. You might be running pressurized fuel into the charcoal canister - it's just supposed to get vented fumes from the PCV system. Double-check your fuel lines - something's way wrong there.

Clearly youhave the fuel lines hooked up wrong. There are 3 lines that come from the back. One is the fuel coming from the pump to the engine. One is a return and one is a fuel vapor line to bring fuel vapor from the tank to the manifold to be cycled into the intake for clean "emmission" friendly disposal. If you have liquid fuel coming out of the canister and have not done anything to the lines in back it means you have the vapor hooked up to either side of the rails, you actually have the pump hooked to the rails (though it could be on the wrong side) and the return is hooked to the vapor system.

But i connected yellwo to yelloow
white to white and zero color to zero color...

What is that random tube in the bottom there for? And do any of you know why i have a random black whire running from my steering columb all the way back to my old bose system? The system is no longer there, but the wire is still recieving an electric current. I think it was grounded to the speakers but those are no longer there...Did anyone else have a black random wire connected to the system? I'm sorry for these questions but as stated before need all the help I can get seeing as how it is salavage and it was half *** assembly before me...

 

Get the shop manual, trace the metal lines, and hook it all up properly. Don't go by a color code or something. Check EVERYTHING - obviously you've got something hooked up wrong.
