Mitch 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 OMG this is your first post on here? The help I think you need is over at TC.net What is a charcoal filter? if you don't know that much about cars why did you buy a cressida? Make a proper INTRO thread now I thought we closed registration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DuaxMachine Report post Posted March 29, 2010 I see 2 big black things in your picture....... Which one? The one on the firewall is the charcoal canister. The one closest to the picture is the air inlet silencer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
