Clicking Noise
For the last two years, whenever it gets cold my car makes a clicking noise. It seems to be coming from the charcoal canister or somewhere near it.
Is this normal?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks for any help,
Derek

It should also be purging when it'* summer as well. It might be louder because of how cold it is. Do you hear it when the car is first started for the day and ice cold?
IIRC it doesn't run for a few minutes until the car is at 100F or operating temp, but there are certain criteria that need to be met in order for it to cycle.
