Blocked hose at EVAP canister
|
Saab 9-3 up to and including VIN W2061707, X2005838.
There have been occasions where the hose at the EVAP canister on certain cars has been folded due to incorrect assembly. This can block the system and cause a number of faults that are not directly traceable to this cause, e.g.
|
•
|
Engine stalls and can be restarted after a couple of hours.
|
|
•
|
Vibration during acceleration.
|
|
•
|
DTC P0172 displayed on diagnostic tool.
|
|
•
|
Incorrect fuel gauge reading.
|
|
•
|
The fuel tank can become so deformed that it may even be compressed completely after a time. Check the pump and fuel sensor.
|
If a car shows any of the problems described above, check the hoses at the EVAP canister and adjust them to their correct positions if necessary. See illustration.
