Where is the charcoal canister on an 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada ?

You are going to have to register on BBB INDUSTRIES
FREE Documentation site...

because... These are REAL GM drawings &
Technical Service Bulletins... (TSBs).

Get onto your SIGNAL/BRAKE Schematic Drawing
and figure out where your "SHORT" (cross-over) is
happening...

This is where the REAL technicians use tone tracers...
and open circuits to halves (50, 50) to isolate FAULTED CIRCUITS.

If you don't "open" the circuits... the tone will travel
everywhere... or no where.

Should be on the driver side near the rear axle.
Its usually right under the rear door.

Under the middle of the car towards the driver side. If you look under the driver side passenger door you should be able to see the vent lines going to it.

I am not exactly sure what you are referring to as the "Charcoal Canister" But you can check out this website for any and all parts with Diagrams to your particular vehicle.

The canister got loaded for a reason, what that may be is hard to track down, let it dry out and see if it happens again. This can be caused by over filling the fuel tank i.e. topping off.

Open your hood. You should see a ball attached to it, (just in front of the driver side). There are vacuum lines connected to a ball reservoir. Replace them. Mine were turning into dust. I had the same problem and fixing the vacuum lines corrected it. This is for a 1996 Bravada. Blazer's have the same vacuum lines, but the reservoir is not there.

if it is a 4.3 eng it is located in the vapor canister if it is a 2.2 eng it is on the eng.

I have the same problem but i noticed a noise by the shifter so i looked and noticed the wire harness had loose wires. make sure you unplug the battery before messing with the wires.

Hi, you may have bad valve seals. you could also have a bad fuel pump seal as well.
