Failed Emissions - Pressure Test

[dromeda]

MY 90 lx 5.0 failed the "Pressure Test." They crimp some hose in my engine compartment (to the charcoal canister I think) and then attach a big pump to my fuel filler pipe and pressurize it, not sure how high. They are saying there is a leak somewhere. I've installed a new fuel pump and inspected the lines and fittings and can't find a problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what else to check?

Also, anyone know what size my front sway bar is?

Phoenix, Arizona. They are pretty anal about their emissions here.

it means that a evap hose is off or broken. check your evap hoses from the EVAP canister in the engine compartment to the gas tank.

i worked in AZ for about 1yr and i repaired at least 5 of those types of failures a week(normally had to lower the gas tank to replace a evap hose).

pollution wise; with the hose broken, it's almost like not having a gas cap on the car. lots of HC

the test centers in AZ are owned and run by the state(maybe the county). they might be contracted out but either way they'll test it.

I live in Gendale but work in Tempe. Thanks a ton for the advice, I've been reading my Chilton's forever trying to figure this out.

i worked at a place in Tempe a couple blocks west of the university called Ronny's auto service. they were good people there when i was there.
