Evap canister location? same vacuum lines as work MAX AC vents?

[mikedunbar]

Hey-

 

I just bought this 1998 Monte Carlo Z-34. It's driven great for about three thousand miles, and still runs OK.

 

It throws a code for a small leak in the evaporative emissions canister. Probably the line is rotted.

 

Where, exactly is the thing? It's not where my 1996 W-body manual says.

 

My Buick GS rotted out around the right rear trailing (holding?) arm. No one would fix it.

 

thanks for any replies, I know it's been a long time since I posted last.

the EVAP canister should be right next to the tank filler neck. you'll probably need to pull the driver rear splash guard to get a good view of it, assuming no one has removed it. the 98 version isn't the round can that the earlier ones were, but they're pretty unmistakable.
