Charcoal Canister
Can somebody provide a diagram and description of the system related to the charcoal canister? Sometime last summer the nipple on the top of mine broke off, and no kind of glue is working to hold it on. I am looking for the simplest (read: lowest cost including money AND my time) fix for it. Replace the charcoal canister, or remove the system, or modify the system in some way.

Here's something I found on removing it... Hope it helps. http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.p...20&hl=charcoal
Couldn't find a schematic of the system though...

Basically it traps fuel vapor so that it can be drawn into the engine and burned instead of venting to the atmosphere.

Cool, I had no idea there were other miataturbo people anywhere near here. BTW, I moved to Kittery, but haven't updated my location yet so I'm actually closer than Bangor now. Updating now...
