Is a rattle in the evap canister normal?
I was take a rubber mallet to various things under my Jeep trying to track down this persistent tick-under-load noise I have been having. I found that there is something shaking around inside my evap canister near the white plastic part that goes to the vacuum hose. Is this normal?
For those who may be able to help, the ticking noise is not present in cold temps (under 35 F) with the engine cold. If the ambient temp warms up to 50 degrees or so, it ticks regardless if the engine is cold or not. When it is warm, or the engine is warm, it ticks under light load and is only auidible inside my Jeep under 25mph. Two dealers say it is injectors, but it never happened in the first 2500 miles on the engine. Any thoughts?
