What does an automobile vacuum canister do?

It acts as a reservoir to maintain a vacuum supply to the HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system while the vehicle is under acceleration. Main function of canister is to supply a constant source of vacuum for the power brake booster. The canister should store enough vacuum to allow the brake pedal to have power assist for 2 brake applications in case the vehicle engine stalls


What causes your car to sputter or jerk quickly while accelerating or at a dead stop and the lights go dim too?

You may have one or more wiring connections that are bad. When the engine is running well, try carefully moving the wiring harnesses under the hood back and forth, particularly those in the taped bundles that run between the engine and the body. Also check ground connections, especially those between the engine and body. It is a 2001 Chevy Malibu, I do not know how to tell if it is fuel injected or Carb. It is an automatic trans, 6 cyl. Hope that makes it easier to hep me what kind of car? what year? IS it fuel injected or carburerated? Automatic? Need more info to answer this ...


When accelerating car On the right side of your Volvo 850 turbo 1996 there is a clunking sound everytime you accelerate. as if it sounds like somethings loose but where the chainy.?

I had the same noise on my 1997 Volvo 850. My noise was from the rear engine mount( behind the passenger front tire behind the wheel well cover). The part should cost about $60. Good Luck. Derek Check for a cracked strut mount. Replacement is simple, but the parts can be costly.


What would cause engine hesitation upon accelerating 1996 jeep gr Cherokee?

check your tps( throttle position sensor) or crank sensor .. the pick up coil hardly ever goes out and the vehicle will still run without it. spiked2u@aol.com


You have a 96 grand Cherokee limited and it keeps stalling because of no sparks to the spark plug it runs sometimes then without warning it loses spark and stalls?

There are many possibilities: ign. coil, Powertrain Control Module, wiring, crankshaft position sensor, battery, Auto Shut Down Relay. If there's a Check Engine light on, it may contain helpful info. When the problem occurs, you'll need an experienced technician to begin troubleshooting the source(s) of the loss of primary or secondary ignition.

The light comes on when the car stalls because the engine is not running and the pump therefore is not pumping. The pressure will always be 0 when the engine stalls and the light is directly related to pressure. This is normal, you have no problem, other than the engine stalling.
