Charcoal canister rebuild - 80 Series
80 Series Charcoal Canister rebuild. Bench grinder removes the seal cleanly. Wrap up is clean the valves, replace the old charcoal, button it up and reseal. You can weld it closed or use a good epoxy like JB weld. I will finish mine up later today with a little rattle can paint. The problem was...

My current pursuit: I bought a cheap but brand new Prius CC, which looks darn near identical to ours. Have not installed, but have heard from credible people that it's drop-in levels of sameness to the gold plated version they try to sell us.

Take heart. The time and aggravation you've saved yourself by doing a simple rip-and-replace--instead of a deep dive into charcoal canister barnyard engineering--is worth the money.Oh, go figure, I just clicked "buy now" on the Gold plated version from a Japanese vendor.
That being said (barnyard charcoal canister engineering junky voice)...you got any of those codes you're popping, and want to share the post-install status later?

After I dropped the spare it looks like "Barnyard" or probably more like "Junkyard" engineering. The previous owner was a mechanic and the vehicle belonged to a long time customer of his and has serviced it since it went out of warranty then eventually bought it from her. Looks like he took a shortcut to pass emissions at some point.
Most common code is the usual P0440
Followed by a P0441
Occasionally a rare P0172 (caused by a rich idle after fueling up).
Well, hello there, and don't you clean up nice.

Swapped out this morning. The biggest pita was getting all those crusty, hard, old hoses off and someone tossed a differential in the way.
Think I have got that long term intermittent monkey off my back. First thing I noticed is the truck idles better. Then I went down to fill the
tank (this is where it would load up when starting again). No issue. Ran a forced evap system test with the handheld and Zero codes.
Time will tell, but I am pretty optimistic at this point.

With my ls-swap build (LM7 4L60E) I am really not looking forward to running the computer for DTC's. I re-established all of the OEM EVAP system same as the GMC Sierra but routed the fuel vapor hoses into new places where the CC could be installed and easily serviced.
Hoping my garage smells less like a petroleum factory like was the case with the previous engine.
