Would have been much easier to find if I had the manual on disk that was
searchable. The index in the print manuals is nearly non-existent. Think
that I found the vent solenoid up near the fuel door. Found that by looking
through 200 pages of connector drawings and found one marked evap vent
solenoid. The drawing had a note about location being near fuel door. Still
no clear indication where the canister is. Just have to trace out the hoses
now.
Still love driving the car but if this is what they mean by "a new type of
car company" I am unimpressed with their service documentation.

Think that I will try removing the purge solenoid and feed the canister line
with 5 psi air and look for air leaks with soapy water. The vent solenoid is
normally open (venting) unless powered and I can check it's electrical
circuits.


Also saw what is needed to change the timing belt. YIKES!
Glad I have a welder and a machine shop to make all the special tools needed
for alignment before taking off the old belt.
