Automotive Repair: Diagnosing EVAP Systems, The Trainer, June 2011
Author: BG
workshop.search-autoparts.com Diagnosing “Check Engine” light complaints is a common task for most shops. And a leading cause of an illuminated MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is a fault in the evaporative emissions system. The primary function of the evaporative emissions system (also called the EVAP system) is to prevent fuel vapors in the tank from being released to the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are collected in an activated charcoal storage tank, or canister. The ECM controls the purge of the canister by opening or closing a solenoid valve connecting the canister to the intake manifold of the engine, and allows the stored vapors to be fed and burned in the engine. The EVAP system is tested by the ECM to make sure all the components function as they are supposed to, and checks the system for leaks to the atmosphere. A pair of EVAP related codes on Pete’s 2007 Toyota, and how he approached their diagnosis, is the topic of June’s “The Trainer”.

Auto Repair For Dummies
The top-selling auto repair guide–400,000 copies sold–now extensively reorganized and updated
Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a must and now it’s even better. A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She’s also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.

Vehicles highlighted include hybrid, electric, and highly fuel-efficient conventional engines. The rally will stop at several colleges and universities that are developing new auto technologies. “Our Members tell us that they want CAA to be a source of information, and an advocate with policymakers, on reducing the environmental impact of driving,” said Jeff Walker, vice president of Public Affairs at CAA National. “Our balanced approach at CAA encourages preserving the environment while also maintaining personal mobility and offering Canadians options to be more eco-conscious drivers while also helping them save at the pump.” CAA, through CAA South Central Ontario and CAA National, is pleased to be a sponsor to help promote industry development of more fuel efficient options, which will help save consumers money and help protect the environment. Currently, CAA SCO is running its annual CAA Autogreen Online Challenge which is designed as a forum for people to blog about their environmental commitments, take daily eco-driving quizzes, and share their eco …
