HKC, mechanically, having a malfunctioning evap can cannot affect your performance anyway. When I was going to remove mine, I bought the wrong size barb connector. I drove with my evap can gone, and all the wires and stuff just hanging loose and not connected for a day. Yeah, I got a CEL, but the car had no mechanical issues, it ran just like it did with it. That thing's only purpose is for emissions.
I am 99.99% confident that your issue was, and still is, some other problem with your car. Otherwise, hooking the evap back up (which was one of the many things you did) would have fixed the problem.
Its kind of like how I thought the 1.8 ECU was causing all my idle issues, when really, it was my BBTB. It just happened more, and more noticably, with the 1.8 ECU installed. It took me a good month or 2 to figure that out.
And you are still the ONLY one to EVER have problems with it, I think that speaks for itself...

I suppose so. I will admit to being the only one with problems with it and really hyping it up, but I was also the only one who did it with an automatic. I drew all of my conclusions from tens of the same thing happening when driving to work everyday.
I'll only find out how the evap system is working until I can find a friend with a laptop because I got Jay-M's scantool and I have a Mac. The scantool can read pretty much if it's functioning properly or not. I'm pretty sure it was a kink in the hose that I failed emissions, but who knows I mean you guys are bright. I'll definitely show you a snapshot of the readings it gives me when I find that laptop! Hopefully it can solve at least my issue.
Hopefully soon, and then I'll post back up here with all info.
