Default Evap removal?

I'm doing a fast 102 with aftermarket fuel rails on my 99 FRC right now. I'd like to do away with the evap system off the front drive side of the intake while I'm in there. What all is involved and or needs to be done to do this? I understand it will throw a code until its tuned out of the computer. Thanks for any help



Jimmy

Just unhook the solenoid, cap the nipple on the firewall and the nipple on the intake manifold.

No need to vent the line on the firewall?

I left the line open on the firewall, been like this for a couple of years with no issues... I also clipped off the pigtail to the evap solenoid and tucked the wires into the harness to clean it up

I left mine open.

You'll have to get your tuner to disable the error code or a MIL will come up.
