1991 Toyota Celica Alltrac Turbo

Since I broke the charcoal canister way back when I was last working on the shifter cable replacement (and since the replacement part is something like $250 from toyota), I decide to just reroute things per this discussion via the alltrac.net forums.

I used new silicone tubing instead of re-using the existing hose, so I did not need to add a nylon fitting like in the illustration.

I tried to start the car, but it did not want to (part of the problem is probably that the new blow-off-valve is not attached, so there's a huge hole that can suck air in after the AFM, and part of the problem is also probably the old gas that is in the car).

Adding more parts to the pile (need to get some spare time to install things).
