What Is This In My Engine Bay?

[dan-0]

Hey guys

As some of you may know, I have just bought my first Skyline. I need help trying to identify what these 2 things are?

What was connected here?

Is this the charcol canister? Are you able to remove it in a R33 GTST and what are the bennefits?

[ARTZ]

Yes, you can remove there's not alot to be gained though, just a defect..

[beemae30]

The green on is your charcoal canister, all you can gain is looks really. Unless it is clogged. The other one is your tps it should be connected although i have heard cars that run without.

1: it's the tps and nothing is connected there

2: yes it's the charcoal canister and there is no point going to all the trouble of disconnecting it

I thought that would be important for the ecu, regarding mixtures, shifting (for auto) etc.

yes you need that second plug if you have an auto and need it to work as it should ie the ecu needs to have a signal from the TPS

[StringyWeevil]

I have a manual and it is not connected nor is there a plug near it that looks like it should be connected to it, does this need to be hooked up for a manual?

[StevenCJR31]

no, it doesnt need to be hooked up for a manual, only the black (?) one needs to be plugged in
