You should be able to find the factory manuals on Ebay. The CD versions sell for around $15.

If you want a paper copy, just print the PDF on the CD.

Another update after driving today... the car started and drove fine but as soon as i would let my foot off the gas pedal the howling noise would start and as soon as i stepped back on it the howling went away. I saw there is a positive intake manifold draw tapped from the EVAP canister, any ideas why it would make this noise behind the gas cap though?

Where are my fuel vent specialists?

This might help. Got it from a old thread on RL.

I did a google search and the RL post showed up. Hope this helps.

I did a search for "EVAP canister purge valve". That is what came up. I'm not a mechanic by no means and it does appear to be at the throttle body per the diagram.

I suggest doing a search here on RL with those key words. Not to be short Ryan.....but if I can find this stuff so can you....

Good luck!

Trust me I usually try a search prior to me posting. I cant find anything on the EVAP canister.. I posted in Renntech, maybe they have some ideas. I've seen other guys with the same problem as me though. I'll post updates.
