That valve (or whatever it's called) on the canister has an o-ring and there's also a plastic tab which comes off of the valve (opposite of the angle of the camera) which holds the valve in place with a screw securing the tab of the valve to the canister itself. After inspecting the o-ring to make sure it's not torn or otherwise compromised, fully seat the valve into the canister and make sure that screw is snug against the tab (or little arm which comes off of it) and screwed snugly into the canister.
Not sure, you could tell that it was replaced at one time by someone else by the yellow markings from a yunkyard. Perhaps someone tried removing it, but over time it got loose.
As an alternative to the leak detector, can’t you just use a brake bleeder vacuum pump to create a vacuum attached the Evap service port. Then if you see on the gauge that it loses vacuum you know that there’s a leak?
@@EliTheOBDTech yeah I know I was asking if you could do this only to detect a leak. My situation is the same as yours in this video; 03 corolla with p0442 small leak code, replaced purge valve and gas cap. I spent all day smoking the evap system yesterday but could not find a leak. I looked at all the evap lines in the engine bay, under car, around the canister, fuel tank, overflow check valve, filler neck, etc. Very frustrating. This has got me wondering if there really is a leak in the first place.

Great job. Muy bueno. I have the autool sdt-206. Good price $270 I just need to regulate psi for evap repairs
Fantastic job brother, the proper tools makes life so much easier. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
You got that right, thanks for the support brother! 🙏
👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏
So what the vaporator just pops off in times from all the vibration ?

Yes, but this method won't give you an exact location of the leak, which is harder to pin point the leak.

At the rear, beneath the vehicle
