Hi hope someone can help me. There is a black canister forward of the left side upper fulcrum bolt. Has an electrical connector only. What does this do please

Hey Matt can you post a photo of the offending item?

I’m gonna say it’s the charcoal canister. Your gas tank vents to this canister to eliminate smells.

Hi

Thanks for that yes that’s the one!

I removed it to change upper fulcrum bolt and then replaced. After this car failed to start cranked but appeared no fuel. I think it’s not connected and think it was because I jacked up front of car and probably got crud from fuel tank in uptake due to angle. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Did you maybe somehow manage to crush a fuel line?

Thanks
