During a recent car inspection I noticed that the charcoal canister on my 94Z was hanging down from the chassis. It seems the mounting bracket was rusted out. I asked the shop if they could reattach it to the correct position which they did.

It was about this time that I experienced a problem with the SES light coming on and according to the scanner it was code #32 or EGR. Ive had the ports cleaned and EGR cleaned but did not solve the problem. My question is " Is it possible that a clogged line to the canister or something in the canister cause a fault for code 32? The shop is scratching their head trying to figure out what the problem is......thanks

 

have you tested or replaced the egr? don't see how evap could set a egr code.

 

you need to test the egr valve. Evap is on a different circuit electrically and as far as vacuum goes. I start by opening the valve at idle with a vacuum pump. The engine should run very rough or stall. If not the passages are clogged or the valve is bad. Pull it see if you can see it open with the vacuum pump.

There is also a switching valve that controls the vacuum to it. With a bi-directional scan tool to activate it and a vacuum guage you can see if it comes on and applies vacuum. The switching valve should have 12v power all the time and only get ground when commanded on by the pcm.
