So I disconnected the EVAP line from the solenoid on the engine side and tried to suck and blow.... nothing.
I hotwired a cordless drill battery to it and physically heard it operate. Then I tried to suck and got a mouth full of liquid gas!
I can only assume this is not normal since it is supposed to carry vapors.
Which brings to mind on 2 separate occasions I had a small puddle of gas under my car after it sitting overnight, but the tech checked my fuel lines and never seen any signs of leakage.
