beaudy starbear.

that info is great.
i had an earlier diagram that mr. b made, but it did not match the layout in the car.

even this diagram you have posted shows incorrect (?) layout of hoses to charcoal cannister.
i've never changed the layout on mine and the layout matches the diagram in the emissions warranty that came with the handbook in the car. its about the only place they publish the emissions hose diagrams!?

the fan hose #1 enters the charcoal cannister from the lhs and the air cleaner hose #2 enters the charcoal cannister from the rhs along with the fuel tank vapor line #3.
i believe they changed the design of the charcoal cannister, possibly about the time they moved it into the engine bay on the 1.8. i've studied a lot of images of 1.8 engine bays in various states and those images agree with that layout too. my char. cannister is on the rear wall of the engine bay.

i have the green line out of the distributor on the rhs which then ducks under the intake plenum and heads off to the throttle body. its the only original line left on car now.
the other line was black out of the opposite side of dis. i checked with what came out of car. black too, but of course they could have been changed.

the decel valve lines were black as well, not green like yours. and have been replaced black. but mine could have been replaced at some point too.

i have got an interesting one though and i will post some images up later when i photograph the bits. and it will be around the decel valve. i think i had a red hose there or a brown hose. but its hard to tell. that hose was not like the others.
also the decel valve was floating around and not fixed or clipped. i will put that info up later. all of which point to maybe the decel valve having been replaced and a colored hose put in by a dealer or shop? and they never remounted the decel valve correctly?
