Charcoal cannister sensor?
My 1989 IROC has a sensor with two wires on the top of the charcoal cannister. These two wires have been cut and I would like to know what these monitor.
Does anyone know what this sensor is for?
Thanks!

It monitors nothing. It's a solenoid to open the EVAP to the intake. The ECM will never miss it.

Well, if one were to leave all hoses intact and just cut the wires.. it's 100% pointless to do unless you feel it's somehow a source of a vacuum leak or something. Even if the solenoid is bad (stuck open), cutting the wires would still yeild you no gain in fixing it.
I cut mine to just remove the wiring crap that was in the way on my camaro (it's a beater anyhow) but, I also removed all the hoses as well.
