I did happen to find debris and does anyone know how to clean it?

Alright so I got the charcoal can off.. I am stumped by how it works now, or if I'm missing a hose. So on the end of the canister there's an elbow with a hose that connects to that, that's all fine and dandy.. Then there's a little black box mounted on the canister. It says "to canister" with an arrow pointing to a hose that goes into a T where it meets up with the charcoal canister and an electrical sensor. Now my concern is that there is a nipple on the other side of the black box where a hose looks like it should go, before the "to canister" sign. There was no hose connected and I looked around and didn't see one. It has no screen or anything on it so it's easily sucking in dirt and debris.. As far as I know I thought this emissions system was a closed off thing so now I'm very confused.. Is something missing?
This is not normal. There's either a bad connection at the coil pack,a flaw in the coil pack itself, or there's an issue with a plug wire. Any of those three would cause idle/driveability problems.
picture?

Oh I finally got ahold of a ford service mechanic that was competent and he told me that's how they should be.. I tried uploading a photo in my reply but it couldn't figure it out.. All it gave me an option for was to attach a URL
yeah uploading pics through the forum is kind of tricky... Usually it works to have the pic uploaded somewhere else and just link to it.
Anyways, glad you got it figured out![]()
