Okay, after searching on here and reading everything about the charcoal canister, most people say they just remove it, and cap the incoming vacuum line to the upper intake.
I did the same thing, I capped the vacuum port that goes to the charcoal canister on my cobra upper. I removed the canister, and I left the fuel line open so it vents to the atmosphere.
Now it idles fine (minus another small problem I need to fix) but when I accelerate hard, or reach a higher rpm at speed, the car bucks and stutters.
My theory is that the car expects that extra air from the charcoal canister at higher rpms, which causes the computer to send a signal to that valve that is in between the canister and the intake, that opens the valve and lets a draw through.
Is this theory correct, and if so, how do I fix my issue while keeping the charcoal canister off. Do I just re-add the check valve and solenoid yet let the hose draw from open air, and keep the fuel line sit open.
In summary:
What is the proper way to remove that canister and deal with both the vacuum line and fuel line.
**NOTE** There are no emissions on the eastern shore of MD, so that is not a concern.
