charcoal canister relocation?
Recently I relocated my charcoal canister to the inside of the nose as far forward from the radiator as possible. I did this mainly to open up space for a cold air intake.
After this relocation, my car has had an inconsistant idle and even sometimes will die at a stop. Is this do to the longer tubing I had to use to reach the canister? I also had laid the canister on its side during the process of relocation, could this have caused it to clog up some how? If you think it has anything to due with the canister and/or you have a suggestion, please let me know!!!
Thanks,
Jim

Did your try to stretch one of the hoses? If so, it may have kinked, pulled out of the throttle body, or stretched. You should check all of the lines going away from the canister to make sure they're still solid and connected.
