Where is the Focus carbon canister located?

[SophieRose]

The Focus carbon canister is located on the side of the intake manifold. Below are specific symptoms of a damaged carbon canister in a vehicle: 1. Gasoline odor inside or around the vehicle: If the carbon canister is damaged, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside will directly escape into the air, causing a gasoline smell inside or around the vehicle. 2. Fluctuating idle speed: If the air inlet or filter of the carbon canister is clogged, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside will be difficult to be drawn into the cylinders by the intake manifold vacuum, resulting in fluctuating idle speed. 3. Difficulty starting the engine: Since the carbon canister purge valve remains open continuously, the intake manifold will be filled with fuel vapors. When starting the engine, the overly rich air-fuel mixture can cause difficulty starting or even stalling. 4. Fuel vapor leakage: If the carbon canister purge valve remains closed continuously, the adsorbed fuel vapors cannot be released, leading to increased pressure in the fuel tank and eventual leakage of fuel vapors through the fuel tank cap pressure relief valve.
