already kicking ass this weekend.
first up subaru p1449 evap canister vent filter. so code kept popping up and it doesnt just do a check engine light, every other light also popes up traction control, abs, brake, eyesight...fuggin annoying. i usually just cleared it and it would take a few weeks to pop back up, until recently it seemed to happen every other day. i usually dont work on it cause its a pos and i dont feel like wasting time with it but havent had time to drop it off. anyway, figured id take a look. its up by the filler neck, so tire off, wheel liner out, wasnt to bad to get to. i pull it out and its just packed full of dirt/dust like to the top. try finding a new one local to throw it in - no luck everyone has to order. so i just start beating it out, put the shop vac on it for a while sucking and blowing, more beating on it, more stuff coming out for about a 30 mins im at this thing and get it to the point where there wasnt much more coming out threw it back in, put it all back together. pretty sure it should be good for a while. i went ahead and ordered a new one anyway so ill have it next time it starts kicking the code
\/ this thing the charcoal canister hoses up to the bottom (red cap is) its about 2" thick with a mini air filter in it. the clean side stayed clean atleast. the hose to the charcoal canister was clean also other wise i was going to pull it and clean it out too
