evap canister, and the cap with the vacuum hose should not come off

Warranty is for rust perforation, as in rust through, with a hole through the metal. surface rust is not covered, and will not affect the strength of the metal.

There's a tsb related to the AC evaporator being too cold that ice forms on it and blocking air flow.

which were discontinued several years ago

I drain every month, only a small amount, a couple oz.

It's just held on by zap strap tying the handle to the wire bundle, and the drain for the can slips nicely into the air box bushing holding the can in place. Cut that strap off, and the hoses are long enough that I can just lift the can up and drain. Put a new strap on it and it's good to go...

Oil/fuel/moisture mixture is in the can, and the inside wall of the outlet hose to the manifold is dry. I think the can is working pretty good so far. As for mounting, there's a handle on the back of the can like a cup, with the drain at the bottom which fits nicely on the rubber bushing for...

I had mine sitting in front of the battery box, on one of the bushings that was for the air box. Works well so far. Remember that the oil and blow by is in vapor form. Small droplets may form on the walls of the hose, and drips back down towards the pcv valve when the engine stops, but this...

Good to hear that tirerack is getting it resolved quickly. BTW Conicity is the parallelism of the top and bottom of the tire, it forms an imaginary cone shape if it is not parallel > instead of = it's like rolling a cone, it will always "turn" to one side. It's usually a problem with the belts...

just swap the whole wheel and tire from side to side, don't have to remount or balance them.. If it starts pulling the opposite side, then it's most likely the tires (conicity problem). The tire shop should be able to warranty the tires.

Rotate the tires side to side, if it was pulling one way and swapped to the other side, it'll likely pull the other way. If you rotate back and forth, it's hard to judge how much/less it is pulling, but with side to side, you can tell right a way if it changed direction.

Toe problem in the front will not cause a pull as it can be equalized, but cause the steering wheel to be off center. Get the alignment checked.

2 secondary shafts in mesh with the ring gear. No.1 shaft for gears 1-4, No.2 shaft for gears 5 & 6, (i.e. ring gear on the diff is in contact with both shaft gears), and different ratios for each shaft.

oops, drain plug gasket

Sometimes the washer gets squished too much and wedges into the drain plug threads or get stuck on the oil pan, and the plug will feel tight until the washer breaks free. The washer "crushes" as you tighten the drain plug, the washer gets squashed instead of the threads or the pan (aluminum pan...

probably vacuum leak causing lean misfire.

just look for regular 3 sport on the street. some of the non GT models don't have spoilers

the window regulator uses wires on a roller to pull the window up and down, and usually makes a clicking noise when the wire inside starts binding or slip out of the grooves.

MS3 uses belt driven power steering pump, regular 3 uses electric pump.
