I recently bought a 99 eclipse gs-t and the previous owner had removed the carbon canister. He lived somewhere where emissions weren't a problem but now I have to pass emissions to get it licensed. The problem is i don't want to spend 300 bucks buying a new one and putting it in, so i was wondering if anyone knew how to bypass this system so i can pass emissions and save $?

 

why not look for one in a junk yard. The whole point of the canister is to reduce emmisions. If you by-pass it that still doesnt fix the issue. Do have a CEL or something or do you just think that you wont pass emmissions because its not there?

 

No it was pulled out and im having trouble locating one in junk yards, thats why i was wondering if there was anyway to bypass or trick the computer

its an online junkyard inventory. Im sure you could find one. I know near me there is a pick n' pull where you take the parts and every time i have gone there, ive seen at least 1 eclipse. Maybe not always turbo but im sure you look close enough. Are you sure you will fail without it as is?

 

Thanks ill check it out. But yea i already tried, it failed and said there was a system leak.
