Carbon canister in RB20.

[chrizz]

A31 with RB20 single cam.
How do i check to see if my carbon canister is going bad?

after 100,000km it is no good anymore.

Thanks.
If not good anymore will it cause hesitation at low speed?
And can i just blank it off and not affect the engine's performance.

[neofrog]

you can remove the canister and plug the hose. it will not affect performance.

Ok kool.
Why I asked was I am getting a hesitation at low speed and I've checked everything except the canister, such as plugs, wires, injectors, filters,vacuum lines, maf, pump, you name it.
Scan was also done showing no fault showing up.
Will try pluging the hoses as you said and see what happens.
Car has cng installed and I don't get the hesitation when it is run with the cng, only with gasoline.
Was working fine with both fuels before.
