Diagnosis + Understanding EVAP Systems (SBQM Full Video)

[@JH-bh5lm]

For years I've been a victim of unskilled mechanics and I'm sick of that. Now I have started learning about car diagnostic and repair work my self. I'm happy to have come across your channel because in my country there is no school to learn these things from. Many thanks from Sarayevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina.

[@andrewyear81]

It most certainly does speak on the gentleman's character. I know this comment is a year old but as you can see, kindness is an easy gift that just keeps on giving. I'm probably going to go premium on his pay site just because of that selfless act. Ofcourse the free info I've been getting and the promise of more may have something to do with it too.

Developing countries? Man you're brainwashed

[@beemerkon]

Always the Americans having to pay

[@SchrodingersBox]

That’s because Americans have more opportunity than almost any other country. In America, ANYONE who works exceptionally hard, gets educated, stays out of trouble with the law, acts professional and makes good decisions will be successful. ANYONE. In other countries that’s not always true. But soon it won’t be true in America either, as a lot of people who don’t have the discipline to be successful want to ruin it for everyone.

My dad is a Mechanic, and has always wanted me to learn things on my own. He pretty much trouble shoots and has me take the parts off. Now I'm a recovering from being a replacement parts only type of person, now with great Teacher. I'm a troubleshooter of my own. I been watching your videos and I paid to subscribed on your website. Thanks Matt! I wished I would of seen your videos before I tried to trouble shoot an old 1994 Acura. Spend so much money replacing censors. You ask why my dad didn't help me? Well that was supposed to be my Learning Car. Never got it to run smooth. But when I saw your videos I realized what was causing the car to stutter. I have the basics understand that the car needs gas, electricity, and air. But never down to the nitty-gritty. Again, Thanks for sharing and caring Matt.

[@josesilva-if4uv]

Hello Matt, I really enjoy your lectures. You are a good teacher and explain things very well. I never had the money or opportunity as a teenager to learn any trade. Ive loved cars all my life.. I never settled to learn or be an expert for a trade in life, but Ive decided to learn about cars about 3 years ago, the problem was that I am a 40 plus year old person and felt uncomfortable with kids that could be my sons in class with me. I saw a couple of them even laughing at me. That alone made me just quit going to school here at my local community college.. The Adult school auto tech classes are slow learning and the only accept you within their registration time frame. The whole government school system could use an overhaul. Put better classes and faster curriculoms. I takes forever to learn with them. You are one of the best teacher here on youtube. Thank you

[@SchrodingersBox]

Thank you!!!

[@TheEgg185]

College is DISGUSTING. In addition to other things, I hate the slow 4 year pace to complete the education. That's great if you're a kid. But an adult wants to get that piece of paper and start earning money ASAP. A summer break is a slap in the face to most adults.

[@donmoore7785]

This is great. My Volvo has a leak detection pump, and yours is the first explanation of how it works I have seen.

[@SchrodingersBox]

Yes and actually your LDP is a bit unique. i believe Volvos - instead of using pressure sensors in the tank, instead measure the LDP amperage and extrapolate that if there is lower than anticipated amperage for a certain amount of time, this obviously equates to a leak in the system. The reduction in amperage is proportionate to size of the leak.

[@thecardoc100]

I glanced through the comments and didn't see where anyone mentioned the leak detection pump strategies. Toyota does use a pressure sensor with their leak detection pump system, it's inside the pump assembly and they use vacuum for testing. The leak detection pump found on Mazda, Hyundai/Kia, BMW and some others does not use a pressure sensor. In order to test they pressurize the system and measure the current that the pump motor draws. They start by pumping air through a .020" orifice and storing the current value that the pump was drawing for a reference.(Example: 22mA) Then when they switch over for the actual test, the pump current drops at first as the air starts to pressurize the cannister and tank. As the pressure increases, the current drawn by the pump increases. During the test, if the amperage drawn falls well short of the reference current (5mA) then it is judged to be a large leak, slightly below the reference current is a small leak. (20mA) If the current exceeds the reference then the system passes the test. (26mA)

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

The only thing that stops me watching more of your videos is there isnt enough hours in my day...

[@pbierre]

The EVAP system plays a significant role during refueling. Here, it pays to call out the 2 generations of EVAP design: (pre-2006): OBVR (On-board vapor recovery): The gas pump is a 1-channel delivery device, delivering gasoline, and the vehicle has to manage venting while containing fumes. Venting takes place via the (passively open) Vent Solenoid Valve with most fumes absorbed into the charcoal canister. post-2006 EVR Phase 2 (Enhanced Vapor Recovery - California standard). The gas pump is a 2-channel device, pumping gas into the filler neck, and suctioning vapors in the reverse direction back underground into the reservoir. (You'll notice a tiny 3mm orifice on the pump nozzle). EVR Phase 2 vehicles have a Refueling Vent Pipe going directly from the apex of the tank back up to the filler throat. Some brands (e.g. Volvo) have a dust filter where the Vent Pipe "T"s into the filler throat, and it can become clogged over time with residue -- this will cause difficult refueling where the pump shuts off prematurely. If an OBVR vehicle is difficult to refuel at a EVR Phase 2 gas station, it is because its vent path (thru the float valve, Canister and Vent Valve) is being blocked. Without adequate venting, the flow rate of gasoline into the tank is deceased by air fighting its way back up the filler pipe. Think of the way water "chugs" out of an inverted soda container "glug, glug, glug", compared to the smooth, rapid flow if you poke a vent hole. If gas is flowing out the gas pump nozzle faster than the tank can receive it, the liquid level in the filler pipe backs up rapidly, and wham...the gas pump thinks the tank is full.

Samuel Clements said "Fortunately my schooling hasn't interfered with my education". My generation grew up with IC engines (I'm 80 years old) so I am in full agreement that engines can't be diagnosed without "thinking", and usually a lot of it. I detect a little bitterness toward "professionals" with an ego. I swore off asking for help long ago following many bad experiences. Fortunately, we now have KZbin with guys like you with great advice. Thank you. But obviously you are not uneducated with a name like Schrodinger's Box, so I'm guessing physics. Now what does the probability of an electron being at a particular location have to do with a bad fuel injector? If you can't afford a Snap On scope, I found a little box called a GTC 505 that is quite nice for quick analysis of ignition systems. It really works.

Hi Matt, as an old, retired electrical engineer I am very impressed with your teaching skills. Repairing my cars is one of my hobbies, but sometimes I am getting stuck into hidden specific manufacturing problems, like a fuse found under the wax paper insolation on a small AC transformer. Anyhow, I would greatly appreciate if you could help me troubleshoot my 2003 BMW 745Li, which started with not accepting more than 1/2 tank fuel (except when dispensing very, very little at the time), and lately getting the so popular check engine light on with the P0444 code on it. I disconnected and tested the purge valve and seems to be perfectly fine, opening and closing promptly when applying 12v to it. It may be that the purge valve intake hose having a small leak at the connection to the other hose going to the charcoal canister is triggering the P0444 code, but I do not believe this has anything to do with the tank not accepting more than half fuel. BTW, there is no pressure, nor vacuum at the filling cap after driving the car. Could you please feed back with your expertise/experience on this? Thanks a million, Chris

Thanks so much for making the EVAP system so simple. Very good video

One thing to mention, Although this is a wonderful tutorial, Many Different manufacturers use different systems as He stated. So, if You don't know the names (of the EVAP Parts) or the type of system You have, You might want to do that first. Although I did understand the concept when I first watched the video, I knew something was missing, I had to go find out what I actually have. In My case, I'm dealing with a '03 Chrysler car with all the Fancy NVLD Stuff and I don't think my system uses a vacuum pump in the line. So, now it makes a whole world of sense to know what to Actually go after. Thanks Again.

To add on to the evap pump, I'm a Toyota tech, and most of our cars actually have a vacuum pump instead which does the same job but just sucks vacuum instead of building pressure, also this way you can do an evap test with the car off.

Great video Matt. Made it very easy for me to understand how the system work.

This is off topic, but you mentioned smoke testing. I had a EGR flow code p0400, & decided to smoke test my intake after the purge valve just making sure it wasn’t a chewed up hose somewhere to my EGR or map sensor. Got that taken care of. But I found many leaks, but one I could not wrap my head around was the smoke out of my dipstick. I took care of it & replaced the o-ring but was wondering how smoke leaks out through there? Causing a vacuum leak. It’s a M112 V6 on a MB E320. Thanks for your videos!

PCv is connected to the induction.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video on the evap system. I've been having trouble getting the evap monitor to run even after replacing the canister and purge solenoid. Completed a smoke test and fixed 2 small leaks. No codes showing yet 100's of miles later and the Evap monitor is still not ready. Driving me completely nuts. Any suggestions? Appreciate any ideas

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot about the EVAP system. My 1st gen Mazda3 often has gasoline smell around the rear section outside the cabin when the engine is turned off after driving. Also the fuel economy has deteriorated. I suspect something is wrong in the EVAP system, but I don't get any code. After watching your video, I think I may not have a leak, but probably a dead purge solenoid, causing gasoline buildup in the canister, which leads to some gasoline being vented into the atmosphere through the venting solenoid. Please let me know what you think. 🙏
