Charcoal Canister - "# -33030" Vs "# -33040

[Palyndromic]

Hi all-

I have a 1996 ES300 with what I think is a 1994 early version 1mzfe engine (hydraulic cooling fan motor powered by the p/s pump).

I just put in a new charcoal canister (77740-33040). This model is listed in the parts list and shown in the manual pictures. The canister I removed was shaped like a vertical shoebox and numbered (77740-33030). The old model I removed had more hoses and electronic connections, so I'm a little confused as to how to adapt the new model to my engine and ecm.

-- i edited the details out --

I talked to a Lexus Parts rep- he looked up build date and original parts for me. Long story short, even he had no idea about the correct item. The canister I pulled from the car wasn't the original and wasn't even in the database.

jerry-rigging continues.
