Just got my 89 vert 5.0 I noticed that the fuel vapor line that goes connected to the charcoal canister is connected directly to the intake manifold would this cause problems? If I remove it the idle drops and if I cap it of it idles a bit rough. The car also does not have the canister.

It is connected to the bottom of the intake but directly from the fuel vapor line no connection to a purge valve or canister

Yeah, that's not so good.

I'll move your thread over to our fox tech subforum.

We have some guys that'll post up a good diagram of the routing of the lines with components.

Good to have you with us.

Yeah, you'll want the activated charcoal canister reinstalled with controlling solenoid, vs just sucking raw gasoline vapors into the engine without control

Found the solenoid how would I go about testing it to see if it's functioning it looks pretty beat might just get a new one along with the canister

Plumb It all up and run the codes. If it's bad, you'll get a code 85

You could also just use a 9v battery and some wire and touch the leads. It should click with power and then you can try blowing through it.


Red wire would be power, and it's hot with the key in the on position. The other wire goes to the computer which controls the ground. When it's grounded, the solenoid will click and vapors can pass through. With no power, it's closed
