Can anyone please tell me how to run the lines for my carbon canister? There was a paint tin size one in the car when I got it shoved in near where the oil filter is on the LHS of the engine bay, this was removed by a work shop a while ago.

I tracked down a standard size one with the bracket to mount on the front bar.

The markings on the top are : Fuel tank, VC and Purge on the top, and there is another fitting down the bottom.

There are two small diameter pipes that go from the plenum over the top of the coil cover. These are blocked off at the moment but which one goes where into the carbon canister? I think one goes into VC and the other in Purge, which leaves the fuel tank and the one down the bottom that needs to be connected somewhere.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

On your picture:

1 - VC

2 - Purge

(ie they cross over, top goes to bottom, bottom goes to top) and the last hose (fuel tank) on my car just routes downwards.

Thanks mate, any ideas for the one off the bottom?

Ahh ok that clip on the bracket might be for the fuel tank one, I assume the fuel tank one just clips into this to hold it facing down.

Need to put it in, not worth a defect.

I am getting crap fuel economy again (was o2 sensor last time) so I am putting carbon canister back in and changing the coolant temp sensor. Hoping that it will fix the problem.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
