The emission control system is designed to prevent the release of raw fuel vapors into the atmosphere during engine-on and engine-off conditions. Achieving a closed fuel system involves the use of a check valve fuel tank filler cap and a sealed carburetor bowl. To control vapor pressure, a charcoal canister is connected to vapor sources, and a vapor relief valve is integrated into the fuel tank. The canister, saturated over time, is purged of vapor by feeding it to the engine during operating conditions. In carbureted engines, vapor from the gas tank and sealed carburetor is routed to the canister through valves like the bowl vent solenoid and thermal vent valve. For fuel-injected engines, the canister outlet connects to an electrically activated canister purge solenoid, controlled by the EEC PCM, allowing vapor to be consumed in the combustion process. Regular checks of components like the charcoal canister, canister purge valve, canister purge solenoid valve, carburetor fuel bowl solenoid vent valve, carburetor fuel bowl thermal vent valve, and combination thermal vent solenoid valve are essential for ensuring proper system functionality.

In carbureted engines, vapor from the gas tank and sealed carburetor is routed to the canister through valves like the bowl vent solenoid and thermal vent valve.

To maintain Thermactor system components like TAB/AIRB or TAD/AIRD solenoid, you should disconnect the battery, locate the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplug the electrical connector, label and detach vacuum hoses, remove the solenoid/bracket screws, and detach the solenoid(s).

To perform maintenance on the EGR system components, start by disconnecting the battery's negative terminal. For the EVP sensor, located on the EGR valve, unplug the electrical connector, remove the three mounting bolts, and detach the sensor, ensuring to use a new O-ring during installation. The EGR Control (EGRC) or EGR Vent (EGRV) Solenoid requires disconnecting the battery, locating the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplugging the electrical connector, labeling and detaching vacuum hoses, and removing the solenoid(s) by unscrewing the bracket screws. The EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) solenoid, located on the engine-mounted solenoid bracket assembly, involves detaching the battery cable, unplugging the sensor harness electrical connector and vacuum hose, and removing the solenoid. The EGR valve, for vehicles with EEGR, necessitates unplugging the electrical connector from the EGR valve position sensor, unscrewing the threaded fitting for external exhaust supply tube (if present), removing the vacuum line and mounting bolts, detaching the valve, and replacing the gasket. If replacing the EGR valve without the position sensor, transfer the sensor to the new valve with a new O-ring. For Thermactor system components, such as the TAB/AIRB or TAD/AIRD solenoid, disconnect the battery, locate the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplug the electrical connector, label and detach vacuum hoses, remove the solenoid/bracket screws, and detach the solenoid(s). Air pump and control valves on MTA systems involve labeling and disconnecting hoses, replacing the faulty component, and reattaching hoses. For the air supply pump on MTA systems, loosen drivebelts, remove the faulty pump, label hoses, install the new pump, and adjust drivebelts. Replacement of check valves requires using a back-up wrench if connected to a steel air tube. Charcoal canister replacement involves removing a single mounting bolt, lowering the canister, detaching the hose, and reinstalling in reverse. Other component replacements, such as those related to the air inlet control, deceleration throttle control, intake manifold heating, PCV system, and catalytic converter, follow straightforward procedures of disconnecting wires and hoses, removing faulty components, and installing new ones as needed.

The EVAP system is designed to trap and store fuel vapors that evaporate from the fuel tank, throttle body, and intake manifold during non-operation or idling, store them in the charcoal canister, and then route them into the combustion chamber to be burned during engine operation.
