Hey Tanner. I'm a big fan and been following your page since your "how to make your wrx/sti more reliable" haha. Anyways, I have a 19 STI and just had a reputable tuner/shop in my area install and protune me on Flex Fuel; I was previously just Stage 2+ in the past. I've had the tune for 3 days now and I have been data logging for at least 100+ miles city/hwy with no hiccups to report to my tuner. But suddenly tonight at 7pm, after my tuner/shop closed, my car threw a CEL P04AF 'Evap System Purge Valve 2 ("B") Stuck Closed' after what felt like a rougher cold start than usual (e60 in the tank right now). I let the car idle for a minute or two before shutting it off. So I sent an email to my tuner/shop and I hope to hear from them tomorrow morning. But I was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this issue might be about? Obviously I'm gonna wait to see what my tuner/shop says. But did you experience this same problem after going Flex Fuel too?

[@Dan-ke2rg]

Just ordered some merch from your online shop to support the channel! V2 tees x2 👌👌💯. Keep up the great work!

I deleted thr EVAP system in my car before going E85, very simple to do and your tuner can remove the codes that would pop up with it. But sounds like thr Evap system is not a fa of the E85. What E % are you using? Also appreciate the support my friend! 🔥🙏

Is it possible to still put on a plug on all the evap stuff and have a tune to take off the code so when it’s emission time it will pass. Thanks for all the help you give.

[@Smeedia]

Yessir 😁😁

[@octurbojoe]

Keep in mind, any rubber cap on the intake manifold can potentially become brittle and rip, causing hidden vacuum/boost leaks so make sure they're inspected periodically and replaced accordingly. The other method of capping unused intake manifold ports is to use the same diameter rubber hose as the cap and plug the hose with a machine screw, then zip tie/clamp it to stay put.

[@Smeedia]

I've used that method before as well to cap off, and agreed the rubber will become brittle, especially in the heat or hotter environments. Good add joe! 😁

Is it possible to do this and drive the car without getting a tune? Will you just have a check engine light on?

I don’t mind a check engine light as long as it doesn’t effect how the car runs. My car already has a check engine light anyways

[@MrGsxrme]

Run the dump hose down next to the transmission. You won't smell it and you won't want it in the fender because you will have oil and other goodies come out of the hose.

A shop worked on my car 09 wrx, put new aftermarket fuel lines, TGV deletes, and all that good stuff, they asked if I wanted to delete the EVAP solenoid and I said yes, but now my car struggles to turn on I wonder if that delete is the problem.

Putting it back in should help clear up those issues 🙏

[@martinburnett3852]

Does it smell like fuel vapour in the engine bay now then? Is the gas that comes out the open hose flammable?

[@charleswells7616]

Once you deleted these how has everything been once you got your tune? Also, once you go the the flex fuel system with the new Cobb fuel lines and regulator and all that, how would the evap sensor be set up if someone decides to keep it all?

So I have a comp AOS and have done this evap delete. I can't stand the smell of fuel that the car has now >.< I am not sure whether it is the AOS or this hardline by the firewall that causing the smell but I have ordered an AOS conversion from Comp to Street series. Do you have any advice on whether the remaining hardline can be plugged or maybe routed back to the turbo inlet to get rid of the smell? Mine has a line just tucked pointing towards the lower part of the engine. I believe routing towards the fender like you did may help vent the gases when the car is moving but my issue is when having the car idling or when going at lower speeds (parkings, traffic, etc.) I just discovered this vent watching your video and have not tested if the strong smell comes from it or if my initial theory of the AOS being the culprit still stands :) (The delete was done in a shop, but now I am starting to mod and learn about the engine by myself)

[@Smeedia]

The main smell comes from the comp AOS, routing that evap line into the vendor should pull vapor under the car when driving to get rid of that smell even more 🙏

[@ralpheezy]

Can you take this out without getting tuned after? Say for example if already running a previous e-tune or an ots map.

[@Smeedia]

As long as your Etuner deletes the codes it shouldn't be an issue

[@ralpheezy]

@@Smeedia ahh i see. so i'd need to hit up my e-tuner to just add in a code delete or however they add that in.

How is the EVAP system related to emissions? I though it was just meant to take gas vapor (and subsequently pressure in the gas tank because of heat/expansion) and then throw them into the intake manifold to be burned.... am I confused?

Essentially yes that is the function, but some states don't like when people vent the gasses back into thr atmosphere instead if plumbing bsck through thr carcoal canister to reduce harmful gasses. Instead of having the sensor and lines min just vents all the fuel vapor into the atmoaphere. In states like California you can fail inspection and SMOG

Doesn't the competetion series iAG AOS basically do this same thing? Thats what I run

[@Smeedia]

Essentially, just vents the gassed to the atmosphere instead of back into the intake

[@GLDUDE112]

@@GetaDomTune Competetion series iAG AOS obviously does not ONLY vent crankcase gases to atmosphere, its main purpose is to separate the oil from the intake track and return it back into the block, but i do believe its related because ive installed the AOS onto my own car and removed some of the components he did as well.

[@Smeedia]

The only different ports are the PCV ports from the turbo inlet and the PCV tube going under the throttle body. The Street to Comp plugs those 3 ports and no longer circulates the gasses/oil vapor back through the car.

Bro, don't you get an open circuit code by leaving that canister plug unplugged?

[@MEMEARAVELA]

how you solve the track off light and check engine??? same whit "SI" drive mode are blinking how you fix that?? i have code P04F0 can delete using a launch x431 scanner

[@Smeedia]

Your tuner can delete the codes

How would one do this for a 2012 wrx?

[@AlexBlome206]

It would be sick if you made a video on how to do this on a non sti

[@Smeedia]

Same concept, the evap sensor is under the intake manifold on the drivers side 🙏

How much weight did you save with the smaller battery and engine parts you removed?

[@Smeedia]

Not sure, ill weigh them and see how much weight was removed 😅

Does this work on 11 STI

Yes 🙏

Watching your old vids, thats my current step, removing my intake manifold, after finish with it im removing the damm evap spaghettis and the air pump nightmare. So i got a question brother, I'll run a speed density with the tial q bov, i have the perrin inlet on the stock VF48, ive been trying to find the bpv plug block off for the inlet, i got one in aluminum but is to big and doesn't fit, any particular one for the perrin 2.4" inlet that you know of and where i can get it?

[@Smeedia]

Try a local auto store for some standard plugs, that's what I use 🙏

[@elbandidosti]

Let me know about the battery... been thinking about it myself for some time now. Good vid! Now lets us see the horsepower gains no more suspense! Lmao! I will look into the merch, but what I really want is whatever you are taking so I can be so hyper too !!! muahahaha. Just kidding.

[@Smeedia]

😅😅 its life! Getting kicked up of life lol and will do! So far its been friendly, I know mini battery's tend to struggle with air suspension so we will see how it does 😅
