Vapor canister, 93 3VZE 6 cylinder

Did a forum search and did not see much.
Had my vapor cansister off to work on AC and decided to test it as per pg 432 of the FSM. It states it should pass air freely, mine is passing some air, but with great effort, can't be right. NOting to indicate it is not right, no codes or smells or rough running.

Looked for new one and $$$$$ be still my cheap heart, any one know of cheap ones, new?

Cannot find any Toy specific rebuild instructions online, anyone know of any? Should not be that hard, it is a can of charcoal?

Any input on this would be appreciated, bypass, rebuild, where to look for help etc.

Try to find a low mileage one used.

Should be quite a few around from all the 3.4 swaps

If it is not broke why mess with it ??

Interestingly when reading about the canister I came across if fuel mileage has dropped one of the things to check is the vapor canister. I read it on the internet so it must be true. I do not keep tract of mileage so no idea if mine is good or bad. It is a micro mini Toy RV so it is not like really good!

As long as my mileage stays around 10mpg I am Happy

We have had record rains here in SW FL, had a bit of time on my hands. I played with the vapor canister, banged on it a bit tried blowing air through, banged a bit more, more air. Took about 30 minutes but I believe I have what is specified in the FSM as a free flow of air!
